In Ukraine, the second round of presidential elections is held

In Ukraine, today is the second round of presidential elections. For this function, comedian actor Vladimir Zelinski and current president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, will compete.

Citizens of Ukraine living on the territory of the Republic of Moldova can vote at the Embassy of Ukraine in Chisinau from 8:00 until 21:00.

TRM.MD recalls that the latest opinion polls in Ukraine showed that comedian actor and candidate in the presidential election in Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, leads in a detached way in the voters' intentions for the second round of voting.

The actor becoming a politician is leading in all age groups and is strongly supported in the south, east and center of the country. Only in the western regions, he has the same result as Poroshenko, according to the 'Rating' group.

Some commentators in Kiev stress that it is a protest vote against the current Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. Indeed, according to the 'Rating' survey, 66% of respondents said the votes cast in favor of Zelenski would votes against the existing system in Ukraine, with which Poroshenko was associated.
