The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Yanukovych era advise Poroshenko to take Russia not by aggression, but by cunning
It would be more profitable for Petro Poroshenko to use less aggressive rhetoric towards Russia. Oleg Voloshin, speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine during the time of Viktor Yanukovych, stated this on TV channel 112, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“It is completely unclear why the president himself is driving himself into this trap of intransigence. If we put pressure on Russia to make a diplomatic decision, then everyone understands perfectly well that a diplomatic solution in any form will mean concessions on both sides.
All this rhetoric, when it starts about bad Russia, ends about bad Russia, not a word about the economic situation in the country, the social situation in the country, what has been done in 26 years, what roads will be built...
“We will never forget, we will never forgive,” and this is where they continue to negotiate?
I see that Poroshenko is a diplomat, in real actions he acts correctly, but at the level of warlike rhetoric - either his entourage is forcing him, or political strategists are saying that this is the only way to be re-elected, but in my opinion, the president is creating a trap for himself.
Because tomorrow, when God willing, under pressure from the international community and internal Russian reasons, Moscow finally makes some concessions on Donbass, it will be very difficult for the Ukrainian authorities to get out of this bellicose rhetoric about the victory parades in Donetsk and Sevastopol, and other things,” Voloshin said.
