Ukrainian oligarch Poroshenko leading pres race with over 50% voteshttp://rt.com/news/161416-ukraine-exit-polls-poroshenko/For the record, the real name of Poroshenko is Valtsman.
He is making several mistakes already, judging by the following quotes:
“My first presidential trip will be to Donbass,” Poroshenko said at a party briefing, using the popular name for the historical region in eastern Ukraine.
“We can now state firmly and with confidence – the whole Ukraine cast its vote, this is the choice of the whole Ukraine,” he said.
Poroshenko promised that “we will have a united and unitary, not federative state.”
"I am certain that our decisive actions will bring fairly quick results," the 48-year stated without clarifying what these “actions” would entail, as earlier it was announced that Ukrainian troops are to resume what Kiev calls an “anti-terrorist” operation in eastern Ukraine.
He basically says that he will go to Donbass with arms, and that the main demand from the region - federalisation - will be ignored. Not a smart move.
I already read some speculations as to whether he'll be assassinated on his first trip there, so as to blame the resistance an launch a full-scale ruthless extermination of Donbass 5+ million population...
Yes, more manslaughter in sight...
In the nearest future the “active phase of the anti-terrorist operation” will resume in the restive regions, the first deputy PM of Ukraine Vitaly Yarema vowed, claiming that Ukrainian armed forces have completely blocked off parts of the areas under the control of the self-defense forces in Lugansk and Donetsk regions.
Ukraine’s army has only temporarily halted its active actions, Yarema said, “so that the residents of the eastern areas could get to the polls and vote.”
Yet despite the promised calm, a number of armed clashes involving Ukrainian troops have been reported in the east of Ukraine on the day of the vote. The so-called “anti-terrorist” operation with the involvement of air forces and armored vehicles has been dragging for several months now, with dozens of people killed in the shelling – many of them civilians and even international journalists caught in the damage.
This is one more nail in the coffin of Ukraine. Sadly, this means more civilian deaths are coming.
For all intents and purposes, Poroshenko is the gauleiter of VUkraine, while NAUkraine didn't participate in the selections.
The terms VUkraine and NAUkraine are used to distinguish the Ukrainian speaking West (they use preposition "v" when saying "
in Ukraine"), and the Russian-speaking East (where "na" is used, when saying "
in Ukraine", literally "
on Ukraine").

Actually there is only one completely unrealistic scenario when Kiev can preserver Ukraine - arrest and try Kiev nazi for their crimes and all killings in Odessa and Donbass , negotiate with Donbass, change constitution, acknowledge Russian as equal state language and give autonomy to South East of Ukraine. But that will never happen , of course. So , Ukraine as a united state is finished
