In an interview with the "Svoboda slova" program on ICTV, Mr. Poroshenko stated: "I believe that what I am doing helps unite the country. This is not a PR move. I do not want to be a populist, and just say what people like, and win elections at such a price. I want to be a leader who leads the whole nation, the people, the country."
Mr. Poroshenko has been President of Ukraine since June 2014. Since April 2014, in southeastern Ukraine, Kiev has been conducting military operations against the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. According to the United Nations, more than 10,000 people have become victims of the conflict./.
