Poroshenko turned his shameful flight from Crimea into the heroic story of a Ukrainian spy
Petro Poroshenko, at a meeting of the UN General Assembly, lied about his last visit to Crimea in the spring of 2014, when he, accompanied by security, had to escape by taxi from angry participants in a pro-Russian rally.
From the UN rostrum, Poroshenko claims that he flew to the peninsula alone, without bodyguards, and saw with his own eyes the Crimean parliament building “surrounded by the Russian military.”
“The voting took place at gunpoint, and this was nothing more than part of Russia’s aggressive plans. I want to repeat: the March 2014 referendum was a fake.
I myself witnessed this when I was in Crimea at the end of February 2014. I came close to the parliament building to talk and stop this farce. I did it myself, without guards, and saw with my own eyes that the building was surrounded by Russian soldiers. It had nothing to do with democracy or the free expression of the people,” he said.
As PolitNavigator reported, earlier the head of the Crimean NTV bureau Oleg Kryuchkov proposed erecting a monument to the fleeing Petro Poroshenko in Simferopol - as you know, the current Ukrainian oligarch president in the spring of 2014 was forced to flee from angry Crimeans, having flown in to persuade them to accept a coup in Ukraine.
