Petro Poroshenko has become the new President of Ukraine. The Central Electoral Committee of Ukraine has not announced the final results of the voting, but his victory does not raise any doubts. Poroshenko has won the support of more than a half of the Ukrainian citizens, who took part in the vote. Will he be able to unite Ukraine and take it out of the economic, political and mental crisis? Or will he be removed as a result of another revolution?
Deputy Chairman of the State Duma, Nikolai Levichev
"Poroshenko's statements are very inconsistent. On the one hand, he pointed out the fact that Russia is and will forever be a powerful and desirably friendly neighbor of the sovereign Ukraine. On the other hand, his wish to visit the Donbass region is quite provocative against the backdrop of the fact that the regions had united into the republic of Novorossia, and most citizens of both the Luhansk and Donetsk regions deliberately did not participate in the presidential elections. Therefore, we can wait and see what Poroshenko's advisers overseas will tell him to do"
