Poroshenko shamed the West for bowing to Putin
Despite the so-called “Russian aggression in Donbass and the annexation of Crimea,” Western countries are still looking into Vladimir Putin’s mouth.
President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko stated this during his annual speech in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Russian aggression caught the West suddenly. All important signals were ignored: the provocation in Tuzla, and the openly aggressive speech of the Russian president at the Munich security forum in 2007, where he basically warned everyone about everything, and the Russian attack on Georgia in 2008, and the first reaction to the occupation of Crimea turned out to be very weak and toothless. And even now, after thousands of victims in the Donbass, after the MH-17 tragedy, after Syria, after Salisbury, in the West there are still many people who want to look into Putin’s soul or somewhere else,” the president said
“I’m wondering, what do you want to see there? Everything is so before everyone's eyes. Russia supports right and left populist movements, spreads Euroscepticism, interferes in elections around the world, in referendums, as it did in the Netherlands. In this way, the Kremlin is promoting its alternative agenda, its alternative values,” Poroshenko said.
