Putin threatens an offensive, the Rada is out of control, Poroshenko is in a stupor
Kyiv, November 27 (PolitNavigator, Mikhail Ryabov) – Petro Poroshenko late on Wednesday evening had an hour and a half conversation with Vladimir Putin. At the same time, Russian Ambassador Mikhail Zurabov arrived at the administration of the Ukrainian president. The Russian side demanded that Kyiv abandon its course towards NATO and the EU, recognize the DPR and LPR, threatening otherwise an offensive. After a telephone conversation, Poroshenko came to a meeting of his parliamentary faction in an extremely bad mood.
It is reported Ukrainian edition "Insider" with reference to his own sources in the presidential administration.

AP clerks claim that while previously Poroshenko and Putin spoke on the phone almost every day, recently contacts have ceased. After the G20 summit in Australia, he remained silent. “We don’t know what he’s up to,” the Ukrainian official said.
The Poroshenko faction opposed the inclusion of a clause on joining NATO in the coalition agreement, arguing that this would be an additional irritant for the Russian Federation, and the alliance would still not be able to accept Ukraine due to the territorial conflict. However, the remaining factions of the Verkhovna Rada insisted on the NATO clause, writes Insider.
“You think you have done better, but in fact you have only done worse. “Soon the alliance will make a statement that it cannot accept us,” the publication quotes Poroshenko’s words, which he allegedly then said at a meeting with Maidan activists.
