The Western press is trashing Poroshenko like it never did 3 years before
The story of Mikheil Saakashvili’s deprivation of Ukrainian citizenship has led to the Western press trashing Petro Poroshenko in a way that it never did during the previous three years of his presidency.
Ex-speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Oleg Voloshin draws attention to this fact.

“No matter how the story of Saakashvili’s deprivation of citizenship develops, one thing is already clear: the president’s team provided their boss with the worst press in the West during more than three years of his presidency. Or he provided for himself.
But if they think that they will talk and forget, they are mistaken. This is already a marker of “infringement of the rights of the opposition.” And it will definitely remain in the set of clichés that Western media will use in the future when describing the situation in Ukraine.
“Large-scale corruption” is already firmly entrenched among these clichés.
As Napoleon said after the kidnapping and execution of the harmless emigrant Prince of Enghien (which gave rise to the Third Anti-French Coalition): “This is worse than a crime, it is a mistake,” recalls Voloshin in his blog.
