UKRAINIAN Communist Party leader Petro Symonenko’s warnings about the dangers of armed conflict with Russia being provoked by President Petro Poroshenko should be taken seriously.
It may appear ludicrous to contemplate the prospect of Europe’s poorest country being at war with a major world power, but Poroshenko is backed by adventurist elements within Nato.
The “former” oligarch, who made an election campaign promise in 2014 to divest himself of the chocolate giant Roshen if elected president — but retains ownership and has extended his asset holdings — has presided over mass impoverishment and rampant corruption.
