Poroshenko gave his wife a special seat at the UN
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko seated his wife in the diplomatic seat in the UN General Assembly hall. Even the president of the United States and the king of an African country did not allow themselves to do this.
Presenter Evgeny Popov spoke about this on the Rossiya 1 TV channel during a live broadcast from New York, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“During Poroshenko’s speech, there were many more empty seats than occupied seats, and few people came to listen to him. Much more excitement in the General Assembly hall was caused by the speech of a man named Mswati III, he is the king of the state of Eswatini (South Africa - editor's note), this is the former Swaziland. He performed much longer than Poroshenko and only his wonderful 15 wives listened to him.
But here is such a diplomatic detail, a diplomatic offense that concerns Poroshenko, that all 15 wives listened to their king in guest places, and not in diplomatic places. And in the seats of the diplomats of the Ukrainian delegation, in addition to Gerashchenko and Klimkin, sat Marina Poroshenko, the wife of the Ukrainian president.
I’ll say right away that neither Trump nor Mswati III allowed themselves to do this. He has not died yet, he still lives and will live forever in Poroshenko, a nomenklatura official from the Soviet Union. He used his connections and dragged his wife to where people related to diplomatic work should sit.
This is actually a scandal. How did she end up there, what does she have to do with Ukrainian diplomacy?” the journalist said.
Let us recall that earlier “PolitNavigator” cited the words of political scientist Alexander Semchenko that Poroshenko’s speech at the UN General Assembly was so unimpressive that Even his own minister fell asleep to it.
Also, Ukrainian political scientist Ruslan Bortnik said that the image of the corrupt Ukrainian president in the West is already worse than African kinglets.
