Quote: "The key issues were war and peace, European integration, parliament and parliamentarism as an institution. Democracy was also discussed. Poroshenko asked for nothing… He spoke in general terms, as a statesman and political leader, about the need for democracy and respect for the institution of the presidency. I think I have answered all your questions between the lines."
