Zelensky's team makes demands to Poroshenko

"We have carefully familiarized ourselves with a statement by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that he had heard the young people who voted against him," the report reads.

In particular, the Zelensky team demands that the head of state ensure the adoption of a law abolishing the declaration of income and expenses for civil society activists, restart the work of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption 'by forming a new composition of this body with the participation of international experts and introducing an external audit of its activities,' ensure the adoption of a new electoral law, take measures to unblock the work of the High Anti-Corruption Court, support the bill on the criminalization of illicit enrichment, dismiss Serhiy Semochko as first deputy head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, and eliminate the Rotterdam+ methodology.

On March 31, after the closure of polling stations, presidential candidate and incumbent head of state Petro Poroshenko appealed to young people who voted for Volodymyr Zelensky, saying that he understands their dissatisfaction with the pace of reforms in the country, but warned that there was a risk of losing everything that has been done in the country over the past five years.

"I have heard you and am asking you to hear me too," Poroshenko said, calling for a well-weighted choice in the second round of presidential elections.

The first round of presidential elections was held in Ukraine on March 31. According to the Central Election Commission, the voter turnout was 63.48%. Zelensky and Poroshenko made it through to the run-off.
