“For now, the focus on achieving the goal of a second term will be the defining trend for the president’s team. Poroshenko understands perfectly well that the loss of power will be a disaster for the ruling political cartel.
Three to four months will lead to an understanding of whether a mass exodus of Poroshenko supporters will begin. Actually, today he does not have like-minded people and associates, he has enemies, accomplices with whom Poroshenko from time to time enters into behind-the-scenes agreements.
