“In confirmation of our general opinion (the opinion of several political scientists that Poroshenko was called to Berlin “on the carpet”), I would like to draw attention to the fact that in his position Poroshenko practically did not differ from what Merkel and Hollande said. He didn’t say anything about “fake elections” (in Donbass). It's not there. He said this when he himself approached the journalists - he probably knew which ones. And there he said that “no fake elections” and “we are all against Putin.”
