During a speech to the participants of the "Protect Ukraine" rally, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko stressed that voting on April 21 in the second round of the elections was not a reason for experiments and jokes, on the contrary, it should be a responsible choice.
"The five-year presidency is not a comedy that can be switched in any episode when it's not funny. And not a horror film that can be turned off, if it is already quite scary," the Head of State underlined. He urged the attendees to come to the polls on April 21 and persuade others to support the European movement of Ukraine.
The President also invited the participants to the debate scheduled for 19:00 today at Olimpiyskyi stadium. "We will prove that one shouldn’t neglect and create the risk of Zelensky leading Ukraine. One should not experiment with the post of the President, and especially of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief," he stressed.
"I know, maybe Ukrainians have many complaints about me. Yes, I'm not ideal. But I am sure that we have no right to cross out everything achieved and abandon the European direction of the movement of our state and our people. I want victory for all Ukrainians and for our state. I want to continue what has been started and build a strong European state that will become a member of the EU and NATO, a regional European leader, a successful country of free, prosperous and happy people," the President said.
The Head of State noted that he understood the request of the society for the renewal of power.
"But the best way to inject fresh blood is to start with parliamentary elections in the autumn. There, the risks are not so dangerous. In any case, April 21 is not a reason for experiments and jokes. This is a moment of fateful choice," Petro Poroshenko emphasized.
The Head of State noted that in 2014 joint efforts of Ukrainians had not allowed to implement the project of Novorossiya, and in 2019 we will not allow the return of Little Russia.
The President is convinced that Ukraine will win because it is smart, responsible and strong.
