Presidential candidate of Ukraine, showman Volodymyr Zelensky has explained why he didn't take part in talk shows.

"I didn't hide from anyone - this is such a strategy. I don't go to talk shows. I respect experts, program hosts, journalists. I can't go where the people of the old government sit and just quarrel with each other ... I wanted to show them that without this populism we will defeat them and we did it," he said on the talk show entitled The Right to Power on Thursday.

He also added: "If you compare two candidates, it seems to me that it is better to have "a pig in a poke" than a "wolf in sheep's clothing."

Zelensky explained that he works a lot in the studio Kvartal 95.
