Former Crimean Euromaidan activist Liza Bogutskaya, who moved to Kyiv after the republic annexed to Russia, stated this on air at UkrLife.
According to her, Poroshenko is using the war to enrich himself, and the people understand this more and more clearly.
“Our president is the person who uses the situation for his own selfish purposes - the military situation, post-Maidan. He is strengthening his vertical power in order to pull the latter from Ukraine into his own pocket. If a person, when they say that we live so poorly because of the war, the war does not allow us to develop. Why does she allow the president to develop? Why is the wartime president one of the ten richest presidents in Europe? Poroshenko is slowly telling us how we have broken away from Russia by leaps and bounds and are going to Europe, more and more repeating what Putin did in Russia... Cages are put up when the president appears - this has never happened. When they say that Yanukovych was pro-Russian and Poroshenko was pro-European, this is nonsense. Poroshenko is even more pro-Russian than Yanukovych. Only Poroshenko has put on a hybrid crown and is telling us about a hybrid war... People understand that this is not just not exactly what Maidan stood for, but not at all what Maidan stood for,” Bogutskaya said.
