Experts commenting on the first interview of the new president of Ukraine

In an interview with U.S. magazine "Time" Poroshenko said that he wanted to "punish Russia" for "tragedy" that happened to his country. Russia, as he puts it, has captured a Ukrainian region and supports the "separatists" and "terrorists" in two areas of the country.
Then immediately announced his desire to build relations with Moscow, "Perhaps some Ukrainians would like neighborhood with Sweden or Canada, but our neighbor - Russia. Therefore, without dialogue and understanding with Russia, we can not talk about a strong sense of security. "

"Frankly, I do not really wonder what Putin thinks citizen of my country," - he said further. According to Poroshenko, if the Russian leader doubts Ukraine's right to exist within its present borders, the best way to convince him - to create a powerful army and a prosperous economy.

He immediately added that this would require Western aid, which can take various forms, "from intelligence to military technology, from the close of our airspace before the introduction of the naval blockade in the event of an attack from the outside." And said that last week he discussed these options assist with U.S. President Barack Obama, then again raised these questions in a conversation with U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden.

He subjected to criticism and the United Nations: "When one of the members of the UN Security Council, which has veto power, actually becomes the aggressor, it shows that the old system does not work."

"Bad start to normalize relations with Russia - once succinctly assessed the content of the interview Poroshenko Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Foreign Affairs Alexei Pushkov. - But the U.S. is like. "

Online edition of "Look" published material businessman and journalist Oleg Makarenko, in which he at first lines of remarks Poroshenko configured for a quick robbery dying Ukraine, because every week could be the last for his presidency.

"I do not cease to wonder to what extent despair had reached Ukrainians to vote for Poroshenko oligarch who, under the slogan of fighting destroyed Ukraine oligarchs himself assumed the presidency - he writes. - I think it is very naive hope that Poroshenko can stop the civil war and return to the good old days of Yanukovych. "

First, the Americans appointed president Poroshenko not to the one negotiated, and to the one in Ukraine organized chaos, preferably with the active participation of Russia, A. Makarenko stresses. Secondly, if he wanted peace, he would have started talks with the people, would have made Russian the official language, federalization would suggest, instead, firmly stated that Russian government will not, and Ukraine will remain a unitary journalist recalls. "At the inauguration Poroshenko official form of clothing became embroidery - draws attention to the important part the author. - This is a clear statement: Russian Ukraine to Bandera is not the place. "

From a military point of view, the shelling and bombing of cities in the South-East of the country are meaningless, they can have one goal - to punish the civilian population, which refuses to obey authorities Bandera, summarizes A. Makarenko. And he adds: "Poroshenko not even trying to comply with the minimum standards - right after the election, he bought himself a factory in Kiev, although before promised that if he wins the election, abandon all of its assets."

Meanwhile, in Kiev with another arrives Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland. First of all, she categorically denied the fact that Washington has funded "evromaydan." However, she said, the United States regularly assisted Ukraine in the way of "key reforms", since 1991, this aid amounted to about 5 billion in different areas of the country. B. Nuland said that the U.S. is ready to continue to assist Ukraine in the way of reform: "We have an additional 48 million dollars that we give support to Ukraine." She explained that this money will be spent on economic stabilization, the fight against corruption, constitutional reform, and strengthening national security. "The U.S. is pleased to support the people of Ukraine in the moment when you start a new period," - said U.S. Assistant Secretary of State.

Accompanied elected mayor of Kiev leader of the "HIT" Vitali Klitschko B. Nuland walked to the "Maidan", but immediately noted journalists, this time it is not distributed "evroaktivistam" cookies. Observers have expressed surprise that Vladimir Klitschko turned to overseas visitors with a very strange request: for some reason, he said B. Nuland that it needs more power to turn Kiev "a modern European city."

Journalists reminded way: immediately after the announcement of the preliminary results of voting at the election of the mayor of the Ukrainian capital V. Klitschko came to "evromaydan" and suggested that "activists" dismantle the barricades. However, not only was rejected, but lost his mobile phone, which took away his "revolutionaries."
