In the evening of April 19, the official TV debate of the presidential candidates took place on the Public TV channel UA:Pershyi.
Due to the absence of candidate Zelensky, only one candidate – President Poroshenko – answered the questions of the public.
Public activist Serhiy Sternenko asked a question: “What are you ready to do and what do you plan to do personally so that Ukrainians can protect their lives and health?”
President Poroshenko emphasized that there was a huge number of illegal weapons in Ukraine and the presence of short-barreled weapons would definitely not add security to people. President Poroshenko also spoke in favor of complicating the process of weapons registration.
