In Ukraine, in anticipation of the delayed official announcement of the election results and appointment of the inauguration date, people are offered to guess how much Zelensky's vacation in Turkey cost and to also take a selfie with Poroshenko.
Elena Erofeeva has the details.
Poroshenko liked to go to the Maldives. Zelensky chose a popular vacation spot — in Turkey. Ukrainian journalists closely watched his three-day vacation examining Turkish photos. Here's him shaking hands with the local governor. On the weekend, he grilled kebabs in a Turkish restaurant. Zelensky stayed in a five-star hotel.
"The presidential villa costs about 40,000 euros. Vladimir Zelensky stayed there".
It was said that he sailed on Kolomoisky's yacht, but there was no evidence. They claimed that Zelensky came not to rest, but to meet with Ukrainian oligarchs to negotiate on neutral territory. But this also turned out to be fake news. Kiev reporters failed to catch their new President wearing shorts on the beach. Rossiya channel journalists met with him.
- You've already said that there'll be no amnesty.
Vladimir Zelensky, elected President of Ukraine: Guys, I don't begin to talk with lies.
- What about the Minsk agreements, Vladimir Alexandrovich?
- Can I talk to the Ukrainian people?
- Guys, don't start our communication…
- I've told you, with very strange relationships.
Vladimir Zelensky also talks little to the people of Ukraine. But Poroshenko doesn't stop. Today he came to Lvov — the only region in the country where he was elected President. People were promised a selfie with the President. Poroshenko decided to turn the atmosphere of a political funeral into an announcement of revenge in autumn.
Pyotr Poroshenko, President of Ukraine: "I love the Ukrainian people, very much! I’m ready to give everything I have, including myself, for the happiness of Ukraine, just as each of you." From the triumphant crowd supporting the President, a single voice against him suddenly comes. Poroshenko is confused.
Pyotr Poroshenko: “Thank you! Thanks. You see, you're alone. Run, run, you've done your job! See you!”
But Poroshenko himself will obviously have to run. Germany suggests that he should be tried for war crimes in Donbass.
Andrey Reva, Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine, is in the center of an international scandal. In his interview with BBC reporters, he insulted the residents of South-Eastern Ukraine. The report was about the blockade of the LPR and the DPR, which Kiev arranged by depriving their residents of legitimate pensions and benefits.
Andrey Reva, Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine: "All those who were pro-Ukrainian left. And those who want to receive two pensions here and there should put up with it. I don't feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for those servicemen and officers killed there because of those scums".
Afterward, Reva tried to justify himself, saying that the British journalists misunderstood him and he meant a different thing.
