Petro Poroshenko: biography and the whole truth about the “chocolate king” of Ukraine
Due to the fact that Western countries, and to be more specific, the United States, have already placed their bets on the Ukrainian oligarch Petro Poroshenko, the president of political journalism Georgy Rozhko I considered it my duty to tell Skelet.Info about who he was.
Poroshenko Peter Alekseevich – this is, first of all, one of the five richest oligarchs in Ukraine (net worth $1.8 billion), a sponsor of the Maidan and, oddly enough, an Odessa resident (he was born and spent his childhood and youth in the Odessa region).
Poroshenko was born on September 26, 1965 in Bolgrad. Graduated from the Faculty of International Relations of Kyiv University. Since the early 90s, his entire family went into business (both his father and his now deceased brother), founding the Ukrprominvest corporation, of which Pyotr Alekseevich became the general director. Ukrprominvest includes dozens of structures, such as ROSHEN, the Leninskaya Kuznya plant and others.
According to the online publication “Versia”, a few years ago the Ukrprominvest concern included: Subsidiary enterprise “Ukrprominvest-confectioner”: Kiev confectionery factory named after. K. Marx (24.9% shares); Vinnitsa confectionery factory; Kremenchug confectionery factory; Mariupol confectionery factory (49% shares); Ukrprominvest-auto LLC is the official agent of AVTO-VAZ JSC, the official distributor of AVTT UAZ, the dealer of GAZ OJSC, the largest supplier of IZH, ZIL cars to Ukraine, the official importer of KIA (Korea), HYUNDAI (Korea) cars. , ISUZU (Japan), SUBURU (Japan), SAAB (Sweden), scooters and motorcycles YAMAHA and KAWASAKI (Japan); LLC “Ukravtozapchasti” (supply and wholesale sales of spare parts, components, assemblies, tires, etc.); Trading House “Ista” (production and sale of batteries); OJSC “Cherkasy Automobile Repair Plant” (production of small urban buses “Bogdan”, assembly of minibuses based on Gazelle vehicles, production of an emergency workshop for repairing main gas pipelines based on the KRAZ-260G vehicle, etc.); OJSC “Lutsk Automobile Plant” (assembly of LUAZ, UAZ, VAZ cars); OJSC Leninskaya Kuznitsa Plant (construction of river-sea vessels); branch of the “Transport Forwarding Enterprise” (freight and passenger transportation in Ukraine, in the CIS countries, the Baltics, Eastern and Western Europe); Autoexpo company (organization of the largest automobile exhibitions in Ukraine, spare parts, service); taxi depot in Kyiv; three sugar factories; Lipetsk confectionery factory “Likonf” (Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism)). In addition, Poroshenko controls the 5th TV channel, Niko-FM and the newspaper Pravda Ukrainy. Poroshenko often boasts that he started with cocoa beans. Yes, he started with cocoa beans, but while at the helm he managed to get a serious share of Ukraine…
Petro Poroshenko. Crime family
Petro Poroshenko is married to Marina Poroshenko, they have four children – Alexey, Evgenia, Alexandra and Mikhail. The godparents of Evgenia and Alexandra are Viktor Yushchenko and Oksana Bilozir.
Alexey and Petro Poroshenko
Alexey Ivanovich Poroshenko, former co-owner and general director of Ukrprominvest CJSC, is now a hero of Ukraine (Viktor Yushchenko awarded the title of hero to his relative, as they say, for his services to the Maidan 2004), and was previously convicted (in 1986 he went to prison). Then the criminal panel of the Supreme Court of the Moldavian SSR found A. Poroshenko guilty of committing a crime under Art. 155-1, 123 part 2, 220 part 2, 227 part 1 of the Criminal Code of the MSSR (theft of property by a group of persons; acquisition of property obtained by criminal means; carrying, storing, purchasing weapons) … Alexey Ivanovich received 5 years of imprisonment to serve the sentence in a general regime correctional labor colony with confiscation of property and deprivation of the right to occupy leadership positions for a period of 5 years.
He just stole a little, falsified reports a little, gave a little bribe, kept a little weapons… By the way, regarding weapons, the Poroshenko family made their first serious capital on smuggling from Transnistria, including weapons smuggling.
Transnistrian scandal
“He (Poroshenko) uses his position as Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine to lobby personal business interests that are clearly criminal in nature. In addition, Petro Poroshenko is a lobbyist for the interests of the criminal regime of Smirnov-Antyufeev in Ukraine. At one time, Smirnov paid Kuchma $2 million a month in exchange for the fact that the Ukrainian border with the Transnistrian section of the Moldovan border existed in the format of special checkpoints for smuggling.
Among the variety of goods transported by several illegal schemes across this section of the border, a significant share is occupied by illegal supplies of weapons produced in Transnistria. The Investigation Department of the Transnistrian association “PRO EUROPA” managed to obtain copies of documents belonging to the Limited Group of Russian Forces and confirming the production of weapons on the territory of Transnistria, which the organization presents to the Ukrainian public. It should be noted that weapons deliveries go through the Kotovsky detachment of the State Border Service of Ukraine, then through the Ilyichevsk port to their destination. The Ilyichevsk port is controlled by an organized criminal group, in which the interests of Petro Poroshenko are significantly represented, who is thereby actually involved in the illegal transit of various weapons systems through the territory of Ukraine.
Transnistrian weapons were supplied to illegal Abkhaz armed groups and gangs of the international criminal and terrorist Karadzic, whose actions were classified as genocide by the European Parliament. Poroshenko’s interest in the highest possible cargo turnover of the port has led to the fact that the decree of the Ukrainian government on the procedure for registering commercial transit operations involving economic agents of the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova is currently being violated. After dozens of “Transnistrian” trains were detained in Ilyichevsk, Poroshenko carried out the corresponding “work” with the leaders of Kotovskaya customs and today smuggling passes the Ukrainian border unhindered.
Poroshenko’s interests in the State Border Service of Ukraine are represented by First Deputy Pavel Shisholin, who personally oversees the inviolability of Transnistrian cargo, while having the audacity to declare that border guards keep the border with Transnistria locked, for which they use space communications. Also, the head of Odessa customs, Alexander Simonov, is involved in lobbying interests.”. — Boris Asarov, Chairman of the Pridnestrovian association “PRO EUROPA”.
Such a lover of laws and weapons, the “future president”…
Political prostitution for business
But first of all, Petro Poroshenko is an ordinary political prostitute. He quite successfully enriched himself under Kuchma, enriched himself under Yushchenko, and enriched himself under Yanukovych. Poroshenko is twice a minister, once a secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, three times a deputy and… a billionaire. He has been at the helm of Ukraine almost from the very beginning of independence. All the economic and political crises of Ukraine are also his achievements.
Poroshenko’s political career began back in 1998, when he was elected as a people’s deputy of the parliament of the third convocation. Then he ran in majoritarian district No. 12 in the Vinnytsia region. He joined the parliamentary faction of the United Social Democrats and was elected a member of the party’s Politburo headed by Viktor Medvedchuk. He was also a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance and Banking, again under Medvedchuk and Kuchma. Yes, yes, he was friends with Kuchma and Medvedchuk.
In 2000, Poroshenko left the ranks of the SDPU and created an independent center-left faction, Solidarity.
A year later, he played an important role in the creation of the Party of Regions, but a little later he parted ways with Kuchma’s supporters and led the campaign of Viktor Yushchenko’s opposition bloc “Our Ukraine”. Quietly and calmly, for business purposes, he moved to the radially opposite side.
In March 2002, he joined the Verkhovna Rada of the IV convocation from Our Ukraine and headed the budget committee (until September 2005).
In 2003, Poroshenko became the founder of Ukraine’s first “pro-Orange” news channel, Channel 5, which is already known throughout the world for its bias and deceit. But more about this channel a little later…
In 2004, a new stage in Poroshenko’s political career began. Since July, he has become deputy chief of staff of the Power of the People coalition, one of the leaders and sponsors of the “Orange Putsch” and a potential candidate for prime minister. However, the prime minister’s post went to Yulia Tymoshenko. Poroshenko took the post of Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine in January 2005.
During the political crisis in Ukraine in September 2005, during the outbreak of corruption scandals, Poroshenko was personally fired by the president. At the same time, the entire cabinet of his main political rival, Tymoshenko, was dismissed.
In the 2006 parliamentary elections, Poroshenko was re-elected from the Our Ukraine list and headed the parliamentary committee on finance and banking.
Since February 2007, Poroshenko has headed the board of the National Bank of Ukraine; his three-year term in office expired on February 23, 2010. However, the NBU Council, at which the new head Igor Prasolov was elected, met for a meeting only on April 26, 2012.
On October 9, 2009, Poroshenko was appointed by the Verkhovna Rada to the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs, and three days later Yushchenko returned Poroshenko to the National Security and Defense Council.
On March 11, 2010, along with the entire Cabinet of Ministers, he was dismissed by the new President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych.
On February 23, 2012, President Viktor Yanukovych, after a meeting with Petro Poroshenko, granted the post of Minister of Economy. Poroshenko returned under the wing of the leadership of the Party of Regions, in the creation of which he once made serious efforts. Everything for business – everything for the family.
He was dismissed from the post of minister due to his election as a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of the 7th convocation. On December 12, 2012, he announced that he did not intend to join any faction in parliament and became a member of the committee on European integration. And he temporarily quieted down – he wanted to be clean before the elections, at least mayoral in Kyiv, and, at maximum, presidential.
Thus, we can clearly see how Petro Poroshenko successfully “maneuvered” between political groups, while simultaneously earning the first million, the first ten million, the first hundred million, the first billion, and now, let me remind you, his fortune is estimated at 1.8 billion dollars. And all this was acquired over the years of the so-called “sovereign” service.
Poroshenko is considered a close confidant of Viktor Yushchenko, who is the godfather of Poroshenko’s daughters. As the richest businessman among Western supporters, Poroshenko was and is the main sponsor of the 2004 Orange Revolution and the 2013-2014 Euromaidan. He himself jokingly says that he “sponsors the revolution with food, water, firewood.”
Political prostitution for business
In February, during the aggravation of the political crisis in Crimea, Petro Poroshenko arrived in Simferopol as a representative of the new Ukrainian authorities, where he was quite rightly greeted with shouts of “Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism)”, “Berkut”, “Get out of Crimea!” and threw all sorts of rubbish at it. Poroshenko then hastily left in a taxi, into which the police put him. This is the kind of love this politician enjoys from the people.
Petro Poroshenko. And now to the dirty deeds…
Threats to Brodsky
On April 18, 2001, the leader of the Yabluko faction, Mikhail Brodsky, said that Petro Poroshenko threatened him in connection with criticism of the chairman of the State Tax Administration, Mykola Azarov. Pyotr Alekseevich denied these accusations. It is interesting that already in September 2005, Mikhail Brodsky was one of those who publicly accused the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Petro Poroshenko of corruption.
Budget falsification (all like my father!)
On March 13, 2002, one of the leaders of the SDPU (u) Nestor Shufrich accused the chairman of the parliamentary budget Petro Poroshenko of falsifying the 2003 budget. According to him, during the redistribution of local budgets in Vinnitsa, Vinnytsia region and Cherkassy, standards were illegally increased by UAH 11 million. At the same time, 4.5 million, Shufrich claims, was sent to the district where Petro Poroshenko was elected. The Prosecutor General’s Office was instructed to study this issue. Poroshenko himself denied these accusations, calling them disinformation.
Petro Poroshenko. Tax evasion
In 2003, the State Tax Administration in the Volyn region opened a criminal case accusing the leaders of the Lutsk Automobile Plant (LuAZ), which Petro Poroshenko controls through Ukrprominvest, of tax evasion. In July 2004, the Court of Appeal of the Volyn region declared such actions of tax officials unlawful. Let me remind you that at that time Petro Poroshenko held the position of Secretary of the NSDC (National Security and Defense Council) of Ukraine – by virtue of his position, he could resolve any issue with law enforcement officers.
Attempts to put pressure on Channel 5
In November 2003, a telephone conversation was published in which voices similar to those of Petro Poroshenko and the head of the board of Channel 5, Vladislav Lyasovsky, were heard. In it, a voice similar to the voice of Petro Poroshenko, in particular, rudely tries to explain to Lyasovsky that journalists were wrong in covering Viktor Yushchenko’s visit to Donetsk on October 31, 2003. In other words, if you believe the published records, Poroshenko tried to interfere in the editorial policy of the TV channel.
The essence of the conversation was that Poroshenko, in unparliamentary terms, demanded to “restore order” to the news service of the TV channel, which he supports with his oligarchic “blood money.” More precisely, he ordered the dismissal of journalist Andrei Shevchenko for not covering the events in Donetsk as he should have.
I will quote only the most famous fragment of the conversation:
- Poroshenko: I’ll find journalists for you in an hour. For these “grandmothers” that they receive.
- Lyasovsky: If this is the position, consider that this issue no longer arises. There will be normal people standing there who will provide normal lighting; in my opinion, there were no problems before.
- Poroshenko: Please, your program, b…, so I won’t put it on the air. I don’t have the program “An Hour with Andrey Shevchenko”! It’s clear? I have my own information program on my channel, for which I pay grandma!
Lyasovsky: I understand that. - Poroshenko: Not a single “bastard” showed me up in Donetsk. I climbed the barricades with cancer! Have they gone crazy or something, b…! Ivy and Chervonenko are there, b… We are in charge, damn…! Who are you promoting, your mother? What the f… is being done? There’s an event going on! So maybe you’ll get off your ass and go to Donetsk, b…, and not to Vinnitsa! Shevchenko is not the only one to blame, b…! The situation is in Donetsk! Go to Donetsk, my dear! Because, damn… if they are “stars”, then you are there! Understand?
- Lyasovsky: Yes. I understand. And it’s definitely my fault.
In principle, there is nothing surprising in this manner of communication between the owner and the manager. Especially by Ukrainian standards. However, the scandal arose due to the fact that this conversation refutes the legend about the non-interference of the channel owner Poroshenko in the affairs of journalists. And here the characters in history find themselves in an extremely uncomfortable position – they cannot deny (and do not deny) the fact of the conversation, but are trying to reduce it to a simple solution to technical issues, and not to censorship.
Another scandal, again with Channel Five, arose in the summer of 2013, then the “face” of Channel Five, Tatyana Danilenko, having learned that her employers no longer needed her services as a presenter and journalist, decided to carry out a “punitive” action against the main culprit alleged dismissal – owner Petro Poroshenko. Tatyana Danilenko stated that if she is fired, she will publish in the media and through journalistic organizations information about various dirty harassment by Petro Poroshenko, coupled with comments that her dismissal was a consequence of jealousy and national intolerance on the part of the channel head towards Mustafa Nayem (with whom the journalist is in a relationship). Danilenko also intends to bring to the public more than a hundred examples of how Poroshenko interfered in the editorial policy of the channel, for example, about the “removal” of materials about President Yanukovych and his circle from the air. After this incident, the topic died down – the parties reached an agreement.
What a lover and fighter for the free press this king is…
The Lenin Forge case
The General Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine accused the director of Leninskaya Kuznitsa OJSC (which, according to some sources, is controlled by Poroshenko) Petro Blindar of theft and misappropriation of 17 million UAH. According to the prosecutor’s office, on April 23, 2001, Blindar entered into a fictitious agreement with the Baget company and after transferring 17 million UAH to its account. spent these funds on the same day. On August 30, 2001, the mentioned company was liquidated and removed from the state register.
Petr Porrshenko. Extortion
One of the members of the parliamentary investigative commission dealing with the Kolesnikov case, on condition of anonymity, said that Boris Viktorovich gave evidence regarding Pyotr Alekseevich.
“He said that he was invited to Poroshenko on April 1, 2005 for a conversation. The NSDC Secretary informed Kolesnikov that a criminal case was being prepared against him and Rinat Akhmetov. They say that the organizers want to receive shares in a number of Akhmetov enterprises, as well as television channels. Boris did not specify whether he believed that Pyotr Alekseevich acted as a friend who warned a comrade, or as an extortionist. If the second option, then the case has judicial prospects. If proven guilty, Poroshenko will face up to 12 years in prison for extortion.”
As you know, then the media wrote that the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Svyatoslav Piskun also testified to the GPU in the “Kolesnikov case” and during interrogation allegedly said that shortly before Kolesnikov’s arrest Poroshenko came to him and allegedly stated that he knew “how to earn 2 billion dollars.” It is necessary, they say, to arrest Kolesnikov and Akhmetov’s brother Igor, “then Rinat will give everything for the two of them.” Piskun, he said, refused. After which Poroshenko allegedly said: “Well then, we’ll go to your deputy Shokin.”.
“Chocolate Bunny” (son of the “Chocolate King”)
Petro Alekseevich Poroshenko worked very little as Minister of Foreign Affairs – from October 2009 to March 2010. I managed, of course, a little. But it was during this period that his son, Alexey Petrovich Poroshenko, at the age of 24, became the deputy head of the trade and economic mission of Ukraine (TEM) in China.
Peter, Alexey and Maria Poroshenko
And in December 2009, Chinese Ambassador Zhou Li visited the Vinnitsa Roshen factory, which, as is known, belongs to the Poroshenko family. I will not say that the then Foreign Minister Petro Poroshenko had a hand in this visit. Perhaps the guest from the Middle Kingdom accidentally became interested in Roshen products. But what is known for certain is that during the ambassador’s tour of the “sweet” shops, the issue of exporting sweets to the Chinese market was actively discussed. In the end, nothing worked out – the Chinese did not like Roshen’s products – the deal did not take place.
Petro Poroshenko’s business plan is quite clear. Rapidly developing China, with a population of about 1.5 billion people, is an excellent market for such products. And who better to lobby for the interests of the father than his own son?!
Hardly anyone doubts that Pyotr Alekseevich arranged for his son to promote his business in China. Therefore, it seems to me that the activities of Poroshenko Jr. do not entirely correspond to the status of a civil servant.
Petro Poroshenko. Family estates
In 2009, the family of Petro Poroshenko completed the construction of a grandiose estate in the village of Kozin in Koncha-Zaspa, 10 kilometers from Kyiv. The territory of the new estate occupies about two hectares.
Previously, there was a recreation center for workers “Chaika”, which belonged to the Kyiv confectionery factory named after Karl Marx, which is now owned by Poroshenko’s sister concern “Ukrprominvest”.
Do you agree that it is somewhat reminiscent of the US White House?
The central object is a large white house, by the way, similar in appearance to the White House from the USA. The ensemble is complemented by a smaller house, which stands twenty meters away. Also on Poroshenko’s site there is something similar to a cottage for guests, a log bath complex, two gazebos near the water and a colonnade. Poroshenko also has his own private chapel.
Poroshenko’s people took the land from the blind
It so unfortunately happened that next to Poroshenko’s estates there was a recreation center of the Ukrainian society of the blind “Ivushka” (on the Kozinka River in Koncha-Zaspa).
As a result, in February 2014, the Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine opened a case regarding the seizure of lands of recreation centers of the Ukrainian society of the blind “Ivushka”. Then the prosecutor’s office opened criminal proceedings regarding the seizure of two plots at once – the land of the UOS recreation center, the Ukrainian Society of the Blind “Ivushka”, as well as the base of the confectionery factory named after. Karl Marx “The Seagull”.
There is an opinion that, due to the area of these bases, Poroshenko wants to expand his land holdings
The case was opened based on the transfer of the recreation center itself to the commercial structure Soyuz-Invest LLC, which is a front for the real customer of the raid, who, according to the injured disabled people, is Poroshenko. The suspect is the director of the blind society, Alexander Kramnisty. Prosecutors have a logical question: did Kramnistiy have the right to personally sign an agreement on joint activities with Soyuz-Invest LLC without agreeing with the presidium of the UOS on the text of the agreement, to act contrary to the interests of the UOS in favor of a commercial company?
How much arrogance and cynicism do you need to muster in order to act in this way with people who not only do not have chocolate millions like some, but are deprived of the ability to see?!
Poroshenko’s mercenaries threw people into the street
But before the incident with the seizure of property from disabled people, there was an equally loud scandal filled with cynicism…
Poroshenko’s mercenaries threw people into the street
In 2008, residents were forcibly evicted from a hostel on Surikov Street, building 5 – a total of 4 families. The tenants consider their eviction illegal. The main shareholder of OJSC Leninskaya Kuznya (to which the hostel at 5 Surikov Street was illegally assigned) is Petro Poroshenko. The conflict with the hostel residents has continued since 2005. On April 1 of that year, President Viktor Yushchenko, together with Petro Poroshenko, personally met with the residents of the hostel on Surikova, 5. Then they made a promise to the residents that no one would evict them… As a result, they were deceived – they threw people out into the cold…
Monetary connection between Yatsenyuk and Poroshenko
In October 2004, during Arseniy Yatsenyuk’s duties as chairman of the NBU (National Bank of Ukraine), Mriya Bank was provided with a stabilization loan in the amount of 50 million hryvnia at 11.5% per annum.
Monetary connection between Yatsenyuk and Poroshenko
The loan was issued in accordance with the secret Resolution of the NBU, adopted in one copy dated October 6, 2004 No. 473 under the heading “banking secrecy”. These funds, as stated, were intended to improve the health of JSCB Mriya, which was allegedly undermined by the outflow of 11% of individual depositors.
At that time, as is known, the interest rate on the interbank market was 20% per annum and higher. The NBU issued loans at a rate of 11.5% only on the security of securities issued by the state, while Mriya received a loan at a rate of 11.5% for 8 months on the security of bills and corporate rights of enterprises.
Soon after the incident, in 2006, Bank Mriya was sold to Vneshtorgbank (RF) for 70 million US dollars.
Thus, the financial institution, which allegedly suffered from an 11% (!) outflow of depositors, was rehabilitated at state expense and then sold. It is clear that the profit from the sale was not received by the state. But it is not clear why, Poroshenko’s bank received a loan at a clearly reduced rate, and even secured not by securities issued by the state, but by illiquid bills of exchange from the “chocolate king” enterprises.
It is also not clear why Yatsenyuk formalized the deal through a secret decree and what his personal role was in this operation…
Poroshenko lost his post due to corruption ties
Another page of Poroshenko’s biography is connected with the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. He was the secretary of this significant structure from February to September 2005. He lost his post as a result of a scandal involving accusations of the President’s inner circle of corruption and lobbying for personal interests. Then it all started with a scandalous press conference by Secretary of State Alexander Zinchenko. The strongest barrage of criticism fell precisely on Poroshenko and his party colleagues Nikolai Martynenko, Alexander Tretyakov, and David Zhvania.
“Our shame today is the accusation of corruption against our high-ranking party members,” it was said in an address at one of the congresses of members of the Uzhgorod regional party organization. “The names of Poroshenko, Tretyakov, Martynenko, Zvarych, Zhvania, Chervonenko compromise honest, decent people who have linked their future with the People’s Union Our Ukraine, they compromise both the new Ukrainian government and our President.”.
“Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Poroshenko, first assistant to the President Tretyakov, several of their assistants, in particular Martynenko, are cynically implementing their plan to use power for their own purposes“, – Alexander Zinchenko.
“Ask businessmen in Crimea, Odessa region… Beyond cynicism is Poroshenko’s desire to turn the NSDC into a full-fledged NKVD.” “The smugglers were returned to customs and they are ‘paying’ their benefactors in full, shadow privatization schemes have been resumed”added Zinchenko.
According to Zinchenko, first assistant Tretyakov “recreates the methods of Sergei Levochkin,” “he monopolized access to the president, cut him off from the flow of information, and disorganized the president’s schedule.” “Poroshenko, Tretyakov and the campaign, appoint their own, feel free in the privatization processes“, he added.
Poroshenko against the Common Economic Space and the Customs Union
He also does not support the creation of a Common Economic Space and a Customs Union. Thus, in May 2005, Poroshenko, as Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, declared the groundlessness of statements by Nazarbayev and Lukashenko about the creation of the SES without Ukraine: “The creation of the SES in the version in which it was intended, without the participation of Ukraine, is impossible and has no economic sense for all participants in the integration association.”
In June 2005, on Channel 5, Poroshenko said: “We have a feature, this feature is a free trade zone without the creation of supranational bodies and a customs union,” and noted that today the process of Ukraine’s integration into the SES is happening transparently, which did not exist under the previous government.
And in November, still as minister, Poroshenko noted that Ukraine does not plan to join the Customs Union: “On November 28, the first meeting will be held in the trade dialogue group, which was created, among other things, on my initiative. This is the official institutional formalization of relations between Ukraine and the Customs Union… If Ukraine planned to join the Customs Union, why then formalize relations between two subjects of international economic relations?”
In January 2013, Poroshenko said on Radio Liberty that there are currently no conditions for Ukraine to join the Customs Union: “Ukraine is currently demonstrating behavior that does not contain an immediate danger of Ukraine joining the Customs Union. These conditions do not exist today.”
Poroshenko for repression of opponents of European integration
By the way, back in March 2013, Petro Poroshenko began a campaign to intimidate opponents of European integration with sanctions and other repressions. Even then, as if on behalf of Brussels, he said: “If there is no movement to Europe, the European Union will make decisions to bring to justice those who impede this movement.” This is not a disclaimer. Then he clarified once again that “this will also be a question of responsibility of officials who impede this movement.”
Poroshenko for Ukraine in NATO
Poroshenko supports Ukraine’s accession to NATO and, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, said in December 2009: “I believe that this can be done in a year, in two, if there is political will, if there is a desire from society, if there is public support for politicians, who do this, if there is a clear and correct information policy.”
Poroshenko for Ukraine in NATO
Petro Poroshenko against the Russian language
In addition, Poroshenko advocates a radical language program – only Ukrainian language for Ukraine.
In May 2012, the confectionery corporation Roshen, in order to save money (increase profits), replaced Ukrainian-language inscriptions on chocolate bars with Russian-language ones in order to avoid making two types of packaging – for Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism) and for Ukraine. In November, nationalists made a big deal out of this on social media. Poroshenko then said that the Roshen corporation would return labeling in Ukrainian to its products. He wrote on Facebook: “Therefore, I initiated a discussion of this topic at the Board of Directors of the Roshen Corporation, as a result of which my arguments were accepted: Ukrainian goods on the Ukrainian market should be in the Ukrainian language… This is as important as the fact that Ukraine should have one state language – Ukrainian. This is my position: it was, is and will remain unchanged.”
Poroshenko is against federalization
Poroshenko is an opponent of the federalization of Ukraine. In May 2006 (in an interview with the Delo newspaper in response to BYuT’s accusations against Our Ukraine about holding secret negotiations with the Party of Regions), he stated that “negotiating and meeting are two completely different formats… It is necessary to meet, because if political a force that represents 40-50-70% of a particular region will be driven into a corner, then it may begin to act inadequately… I am convinced that the inability to find a compromise can lead to the process of federalization. Moreover, the security and territorial integrity of the country are the highest priority. The people will curse us if we allow the country to split. They will sing the anathema in the church.”
Petro Poroshenko. Brief summary
Thus, this candidate is not suitable for Ukraine for the following reasons:
- Poroshenko built his empire from Soviet enterprises, which he bought “for nothing”, receiving rather suspicious loans for this and using his political position. Peter’s father is a former prisoner, and Peter himself was deprived of public office due to corruption scandals.
- Poroshenko is a political prostitute. Kuchma, Yushchenko, Yanukovych – everything is the same for him – the main thing is to be at the helm and lobby for the interests of his business.
- Poroshenko is a political comrade and relative of Viktor Yushchenko, under whom Ukraine at one time reached a serious decline (as a result of which he was replaced by Viktor Yanukovych), Poroshenko at this time seriously increased his capital. By the way, even then Ukraine was cracking, and only ten years later the final split of the country into two Ukraines took place.
- Poroshenko is an opponent of the rapprochement of the fraternal peoples of Ukraine, Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism) and Belarus. Poroshenko traditionally opposes the Eurasian and Customs unions. He is also a supporter of NATO expansion and believes that Ukraine should join this alliance.
- Petro Poroshenko is against the Russian language in Ukraine.
- Poroshenko is one of the main sponsors of Euromaidan, which resulted in the overthrow of the legitimate government in Kyiv, the arrival of the junta, the split of Ukraine into two parts, the loss of Crimea, as well as the serious possibility of the loss of the entire South-East of Ukraine…
Petro Poroshenko. P.S
Poroshenko is a prominent representative of the period of rule of Lazarenko, Kuchma, Yushchenko, Yanukovych. He served in turn Lazarenko, Kuchma, Yushchenko, Yanukovych. The first corruption scandal under Yushchenko began precisely with the conflict between Tymoshenko and Poroshenko. In principle, Poroshenko could also sit down, like almost everyone up there. The owner of countless treasures, earned by “righteous” labor side by side with Lazarenko, Kuchma, Yushchenko and Yanukovych. But he continues to influence the minds and moods of the crowd, organizing his next election campaign, giving the crowd what it asks for – bread and circuses. And now he is also vying for the presidency of Ukraine… Lord, save Ukraine from this dirt!
