Presidential debates: Interior Ministry ready to ensure public order at Olimpiyskiy stadium

Head of the Interior Ministry’s Communications Department Artem Shevchenko wrote this on Facebook.

“The stadium is like a stadium. No big deal. The UEFA Champions League Final was held without any problems last May. Thus, the units of the Interior Ministry, namely the National Police of Ukraine, the State Emergencies Service of Ukraine and the National Guard of Ukraine are ready to ensure public order and security at the NSC Olimpiyskiy during the presidential debate. And let the strongest win,” he wrote.

As earlier reported, according to the official voting results, Volodymyr Zelensky got 30.24% of the vote, Petro Poroshenko – 15.95%. On April 3, Zelensky invited Poroshenko to a debate before the second round of presidential elections. Zelensky stressed that the debate should take place at the Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Kyiv, in the presence of all interested journalists and television channels.

Poroshenko, in his video address, reminded that according to the rules of the debate stipulated in the law on presidential elections, it can be held on public television and broadcast on all television channels. "But if it's the stadium, let it be the stadium. I'm waiting for you, Volodymyr Oleksandrovych," Poroshenko said.
