No matter how few people may take part in the Ukraine’s presidential election on Sunday, the outcome is known in advance – Petro Poroshenko, the US favorite rote son, will be declared the winner of the race. The result will further split the country.
Many regions refuse to recognize as President this chocolate king who is notorious for pocketing government money. Poroshenko has no chance to stop the bloody conflict even scrupulously carrying out all the orders given by Joe Biden, Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt. Besides, the mission of putting an end to bloodshed has never been set by his US bosses…
Billionaire Poroshenko started
his business by laundering the money of Soviet times’ administrators.
He has never been an entrepreneur to start a business of his own. The
story is invented. He made a head start thanks to the criminal
connections of his father sentenced for large-scale theft in 1986.
Having served the sentence, Poroshenko Sr. launched his own business
making his son involved in the activities. The business was dirty, it
all started with plundering state property by armed gangs.
The
Poroshenko family had plans to expand the activities beyond Ukraine.
Tatyana Mikoyan, a well-known Kiev-based lawyer, remembers what the
family did in Transnistria, «It was horrible back in the 1990s: illegal
arms, prostitutes, drugs – all bringing profits to father and son».
Poroshenko Sr. was awarded for his merits – in 2009 he received the Hero
of Ukraine decoration bought for him by his son who paid to then
President Yushenko, the Godfather to Petro Poroshenko’s children.
The
would-be President-elect is well known for misappropriating budget
funds. He has the reputation of someone who knows how to make money out
of thin air. Many times he has been accused of being involved in large
scale corruption schemes, open lobbying, embezzlement of budget
allocations, tax evasion, illegal operations to acquire shares and
physically threatening political opponents and competitors. Certainly he
is not just another swindler but a tycoon, an owner of huge and
diversified business empire.
Forbes lists Petro Poroshenko as
the 130th richest Jew in the world with 1, 6 billion dollars. The
would-be President of Ukraine Poroshenko was born Waltzman. Poroshenko
is his mother’s name, she was also a Jew. In the past Poroshenko was a
sponsor of Our Ukraine and Victor Yushchenko. His business empire also
includes the 5th TV channel known for vehement anti-Russian propaganda.
Until recently his Roshen confectionary manufacturing group had earned
hundreds of millions in US dollars making business in Russia. As of
2012, Roshen accounted for 3, 2% of Russian market (the 6th largest
producer). He always used the money earned for anti-Russian projects.
The presidential
hopeful and tomorrow’s President-elect makes the return of Crimea to
Ukraine and defending the country from «outside intervention» his
foreign policy priorities. It’s hard to find anything stated in concrete
terms in his program. There is nothing definite there. Instead it is
full of empty calls for making a «free European state», «revive military
might» etc. Many find his speeches repugnant, especially when
Poroshenko starts telling stories about «patriotism», «national unity»
and «protection of human rights».
Petro Poroshenko
is a political chameleon. This tycoon was very cynical as he went into
politics. He did it for personal enrichment. He is full of ambitions and
outright lust for power but lacks a professional team to work
effectively or impress public. He is rather led by greed than ideas.
Now Poroshenko
exercises control over local authorities in the Vinnytsia, Volyn,
Chernovitsy and Zaporozhye regions dreaming of spreading his power to
the whole Ukraine. His propensity to get involved in monkey business can
hardly be restrained. Poroshenko is one of the most odious figures in
Ukrainian politics and heads the list of the country’s corrupted
persons. Having suffered so many failures, he is going to become the
country’s next President with Washington’s blessing.
