Netizens mock Poroshenko for copying President Putin's election slogan

A photo of a campaign ad for Poroshenko in the elections to be held next March is circulating on the Internet. Many people noticed that the slogan on the poster —"There are many candidates — there is only one President!"— a complete echo of Vladimir Putin's 2012 election slogan.

The online community was so excited that they commented that Mr. Poroshenko's election campaign team could not even organize the campaign themselves.

"The original is unique and the copy is a complete disaster," wrote @lady_Katz.

"Now everyone understands, President Putin is Poroshenko's idol," commented account @belyi_seryi.

Additionally, netizens also pointed out that this was not the only "copycat" campaign ad. "People even thought about translating the slogans," the account @irkdozor emphasized.

A slogan was captured and posted by netizens.

In addition, social media users also noticed other moves by Mr. Poroshenko to imitate President Putin. In particular, they paid attention to the words of the Ukrainian leader at the inauguration of the sports complex in the Kharkiv region, when the politician talked about his Sambo (a Russian martial art of self-defense) classes and the possibility of becoming a Judo coach.
