Petro Poroshenko he was President ofUkraine from 2014 to 2019, which means that it was a protagonist in the first phase of the conflicts in Crimea and Donbass. Since February 24, the day of the Russian invasion, the ex-president has given up the role of opposition leader and with it the controversy Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the name of national unity: On the other hand, his experience that he knew is important Wladimir Putin better and longer than Zelensky.
“First of all – Poroshenko said in an interview with Corriere della Sera – never trust Putin. So many times he had made promises to me that he had not kept. Secondly, five years of negotiations have taught me that you shouldn’t be afraid of him. Third, I am safe in this war will not use the atomic bombFor the fact that fears for his life: He knows there would be an unconventional answer. And in any case, this is already a nuclear war: Russian troops fired on the nuclear power plant near Zaporizhia, threatening the stability of Chernobyl ”.
Poroshenko then stressed that Ukraine is only fighting for peace: “Let it be clear that we want it. But unfortunately I don’t believe in negotiations at the moment and the reason is very simple: our positions are too far apart, Putin wants to kill us and we want to live. Putin wants to erase us from the map of the world and let us exist only as a Russian province. Moreover, Putin has shown that he acts as a mentally disturbed, violent and aggressive person, he has self-excluded from the international forum.”
