    Zelenskyy’s presidential campaign against Poroshenko was almost entirely virtual.[56][57] He did not release a detailed policy platform[58] and his engagement with mainstream media was minimal;[56][d] he instead reached out to the electorate via social media channels and YouTube clips.[56] In place of traditional campaign rallies, he conducted stand-up comedy routines across Ukraine with his production company Kvartal 95.[60][61]

    A meaningful quote on an important foreign policy direction might be difficult to come by owing to this.

      The point is that such a quote doesn’t exist because Zelensky did promise to implement Minsk and to normalize relations with Russia. That’s why he had so much popular support. When Zelensky got in power he basically did a 180 on the platform.
