Mr Poroshenko also promised to raise the Ukrainian flag high over the bay of Sevastopol.
This is not the first statement by the Ukrainian President about Crimea returning to the country, but internet users once again mocked and invited Mr. Poroshenko to go to Crimea to ask the locals what they think.
Crimea became Russian territory in March 2014, following the results of a referendum. 96.77% of Crimean residents and 95.6% of Sevastopol residents voted in favor of Crimea's annexation to Russia.
The Kremlin insists that the vote was conducted in full compliance with the provisions of international law.
