During the first meeting in many years between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his predecessor and opponent in the previous election, MP Petro Poroshenko, on 26 May, the politicians spoke in raised voices and exchanged accusations. Ukrainska Pravda's sources said Poroshenko was left with "a strange feeling of emptiness" after the meeting.

Details: On 26 May, Poroshenko waited for Zelenskyy on the third floor of the President's Office on Bankova Street. His meeting with Zelenskyy did not begin for a long time. He waited almost an hour. All the other faction leaders had already had their audience with the president.

Davyd Arakhamiia, leader of the president's faction in the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament), and Kyrylo Budanov, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, reportedly communicated with Poroshenko in advance and tried to set a certain framework for the future conversation.
