According to him, Poroshenko can “push” his man into prime minister in order to stop the competition between the BPP and Yatsenyuk’s Popular Front.
“Kononenko is the president’s man, whom the president trusts. Apparently, in order to avoid further competition, which is now present between Mr. Poroshenko and Mr. Yatsenyuk, this is why such personalities are being promoted. In our country, personal loyalty and trust in the individual comes first instead of professionalism,” said Bereza.
Poroshenko met Kononenko while serving in the army. Subsequently, they organized a company that provided consulting services to enterprises on concluding international contracts for a percentage of the transaction. Kononenko and Poroshenko together earned their first million in the spice trade.
