The campaign headquarters of showman and presidential candidate Volodymyr Zelensky has offered to hold debate with incumbent President Petro Poroshenko live via a video link.

"We are offering a compromise. If everyone really wants us to debate, in order not to create the impression we are avoiding the debates, we propose (debating) via a video link," Ze!Team headquarters chairman Ivan Bakanov said on the Pryamiy TV channel on Thursday.

"If Poroshenko is at Ukraine's national public broadcast studio (UA:PBC) and we are at the Olympiyskiy Stadium, we can combine the broadcast feeds and debate with one another live on air," Bakanov said.
