dissident republicans. the first total story election campaigning grinds to a holes in ukraine this friday ahead of sunday's presidential runoff pitching in common petro poroshenko. i guesss not a missile in ski i comedian with no political experience. well early this evening the two candidates held an extraordinary stadium debate whether paspalum topics including the lack of political experience campaign promises. the one year old.

trains told told the stones it down to something is a long shot he soon overtook more experience candidates amid frustration. as was done rest in the country is here both of the candidates speaking idea.. i'm not a politician. i am not a politician a soul. i'm just a human being. and the only human being. who has come to break this system? william the results. true or the x. you *-*-. i am the results of your mistakes and promises. this is true and you know it's today we see just a beautiful candy wrapper expensive bright. in which everyone sees whatever they want to see. how i is hee going to fulfill te functions of commander in chief? your team has already said that you are starting a young fighter course. it is a good thing to do. you should have started it fourr

years ago in. twenty fourteen when ukraine needed the efforts of all volunteers. you're hiding from conscrcriptin notitice. incumbent sepp petro poroshenko ends item is in ski facing off at a debates that i little idea as to tell us more about how it all went from twenty fools got a crime is in ukraine's capital kiev. for sake of managed to bring many more supporters to the stadium the invalid emits a lenski dates and soo from thatt point o of view whehen you weren sight you could quite easilyy have the impression that t pitca person who was winning because things that he said were gettin. huge cheers well things that religion is a lenski said were tending to be boot but one of them is a let's get kept his poise throughout that even when the trooper cinco unexpectedldly moved from his stage at one end of the stadium. to the lynskey ststage at the other end of the stadium that was unscripted talansky was also not thrown by that i think the general impression is that pitcher

person could may have under. estimated polygamiststs lansky's rhetetorical skikills he came up with a lot of sound bites he's a perfrformer he had thought this through and he'd planned to come up with sound bites and things that he could attack. petro poroshenko on and there's a lot more substance that he can attack p pitcher p person go on becaususe if. a person whose record of five years in office he kept reading out questions from the ukrainian public that were more likike complalaints really about things there on satitisfied with people who are corrupt have not been sent to jail. high prices for electricicity ad gas the fact that the war in the east is still going on even though petro poroshenko in his first election campaign five years ago had promised to end it within a matterr of weeks. meanwhile petro poroshenko simply a attack follolowed his d ski on thingngs t that he iss suspected all of whichh are accusationons that have e some susubstance such as hisis ties o ththe only cocky go quite a ways he he's accused. of a huge banking fraud. but never and also -- to his --

and also he said. reluctance to speak russian was inability to speak russian full- fluently sorry to speak ukrainian follicular leave in amamement he e speaks russian ad that some ukrainians find its -- a problem that he doesn't seem to be able to speak ukrainian follicular anybody study craney throughohout most of the debatee spoke it more or less okay i think he probably comes out as the winner the lynskey. meaning it got even when it comes to the land as as an n. ski excuse me as you said he's no stranger to stranger to being on stage is probably quite at home there. if the polls all correct and ukraine does he like this full she one year old with no political experience is the feeling that this political novice essentially is up to thee task. well that's what a lot o of ukrainians are worried about the a lot of people who do not like petro poroshenko that i've been speaking to us saying that theyey're going to vote for him anyway bececause they think. that voting for this no this is such a leap in the dark but i think if anything tonight's debate although debate is perhaps not even the right word for it because it was. more of a sort of rhetorical shouting match nevever the less

that may have restorere some of ththem that religigion is a lets give at least up to the task off holding his own. when the -- being thrown difficult questions and that he is that's a little bit more intelligent than some people thought but certainly that'ss te biggest worry that several to ms let's keep does not have the experience to do this job. but the unpopularity of petro poroshenko in the lack of progress on the key issue of tackling corruption in ukraine really seems to be trumpmping those phase and leading ukrainians to say that t they wl vote for blood to msms let's gie me hisis probably does absolutey enormous a among people. who say that they have decided to they're goingng to vote for d that they are d definitely going to votote i think a 72% of them say that they'y're going to vote for thee lynskey? they're often a lot of undecideds and there are still a lot of people who say they won't vote to tool but really i mean at this s stage a victory for porter person who would be. a very unexpecected upset. another crack thahat reportinggt from the ukrainian capital for us. however you crane at nine
