Poroshenko put the car in reverse after shouting from the USA
The President of Ukraine could easily have “bent over” the parliament and introduced martial law throughout the country for 60 days, but the West did not allow this to happen.
This opinion was expressed on the Capital TV channel by the director of the Kyiv Center for Political Research and Conflict Studies, Mikhail Pogrebinsky, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Poroshenko’s main mistake lies in the very idea: “Let me go this way, around the corner, I will confront parliament with the fact that I want to postpone the elections, I will tilt them and they will vote.” I asked one authoritative person from parliament: “Can they bend you over? Could you vote in 60 days, for the whole country?” He said that of course they could. But Merkel and the Americans said: “No. We do not allow the elections to be postponed.” And he immediately backed down, and then we saw this whole circus when they, resisting, “let’s only give certain areas.” But this is also beneficial – separate areas,” the political scientist noted.
Formerly PolitNavigator quoted a statement from a Russian politician and publicist Nikolai Starikov that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and NSDC Secretary Oleksandr Turchynov are using martial law to make millions in profits, artificially collapsing the hryvnia and increasing demand for the dollar.
Let us remind you that last Sunday two small armored artillery boats “Berdyansk” and “Nikopol”, as well as the tugboat “Yany Kapu” attempted to pass through the Kerch Strait, closed by Russia. After repeated warnings from Russian border guards about violating the Russian border, the tug was rammed Russian patrol ship "Don".
After the Ukrainian vessel and crew that violated the state border of the Russian Federation were detained by Russian special forces.
In response, Ukraine convened the Security Council and the Verkhovna Rada and declared martial law in some regions bordering the Russian Federation.
