President of Ukraine arrived in new York, however, his visit began with a mishap. Instead of carpet Poroshenko and his wife Marina to the ramp left battered and quite dirty dressing padwhere they are unable to fit. But our friend is not upset because he only cared about meeting…
Speaking before influential in the US Ukrainian Diaspora, Petro Poroshenko, on Thursday urged businessmen to invest in economy square, to impose new sanctions against Russia and provide Ukraine with lethal weapons. According to Poroshenko, in Kiev, no hope for settlement of the conflict in the Donbass, and on those recommendations, announced in Kiev, the foreign Ministers of Germany and France to hold elections of local authorities in the Donbas and to acknowledge the special status of the areas outside of Kiev), as the saying goes “they wanted to sneeze”. The Ministers also advised the long-suffering first address issues of security, and then to implement all provisions of Minsk agreements.
In the Ukrainian capital recommendations of the European officials embraced with irritation. In Kiev immediately noticed that the opinion of the European Ministers exactly-in-exactly coincides with the previously published statement of the head of Russian foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov: “In our opinion, the line of Kiev aims to first ensure a regime of complete silence and only then begin to discuss the political aspects of the Minsk agreements…”
During his visit to the United States Poroshenko also stated the need for not only conservation, but also the extension of anti-Russian sanctions: “a Good result could give the modern equivalent of the amendment of Jackson-Vanik amendment (impose severe restrictions on trade with countries whose regime Washington considered undemocratic)”.
The next question that Poroshenko raised at the meeting was associated with the APU supply of lethal American weapons: “We are over the 2.5 years proved that you can rely on us and you can trust us. We have demonstrated that Ukraine has never conducted and will not conduct wars of conquest. From the Ukraine never threatened. And absolutely safe to give us a lethal weapon. For their land we will fight until the last drop of blood.” These words Poroshenko once again confirmed that Kiev will never go to steps that reinforce independent or special status of DND and LNR, even if a further confrontation will result in a resumption of hostilities.
But the most fun President of square has left at the end. “I wish that one day the headlines about Ukraine was not about the shelling in the Donbass, and about opportunities for international business in the East of Ukraine, including in Ukrainian Crimea. Now is the right time and place to invest in Ukraine,” – said Poroshenko.
His statement provoked a stinging reaction of the Ukrainian economist Okhrimenko, because for 2 years that went since the victory of Euromaidan in Ukraine did not go any foreign investor. Okhrimenko said that today in Ukraine, where the war continues, there is simply no assets which could be attractive to these large investors.
