President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his predecessor and European Solidarity party leader Petro Poroshenko discussed “matters of war and peace” and cooperation between government and parliament on May 26.

European Solidarity co-chair Iryna Herashchenko described the two-hour-long meeting as “not easy,” noting it was the longest one compared to Zelenskyy’s conversations with other political opposition leaders.

“It was about matters of war and peace, about cooperation between branches of government...,” Herashchenko told TV Kyiv on May 27.

“We welcome the start of this dialogue.”

Some details of the discussion, which she described as “not easy, given the difficult relations between Poroshenko and Zelenskyy,” remain private, she added.

On May 26, Zelensky held a series of separate meetings with parliamentary party leaders, including Yulia Tymoshenko of Batkivshchyna; Oleksandra Ustinova of Holos; Yuriy Boyko of the Platform for Life and Peace group; and Dmytro Razumkov of the Reasonable Politics faction.
