“To the debates where we have gathered today and where Mr. Zelensky has not yet come, he was invited to tell at least something – how he sees European integration, Euro-Atlantic integration, the first steps in reforms, continuation of the reform course of President Poroshenko… If, God forbid, he is elected, it will still be a choice of the Ukrainian people, and I will respect it," the head of state added, noting that Ukraine is a democratic state, and there is no doubt about that.
