Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko criticizes an idea of holding a referendum on “peace agreements”.
“It was unpleasantly surprised by the odd stance that the issue of the so-called ‘peace agreements with Russia’ must be resolved at a referendum. The country is concerned that it is surrender rather than ‘peace agreements,'” Poroshenko said on Twitter on May 22.
He advised the team of new President Volodymyr Zelenskiy “to dispel those rumors that are either an unsuccessful improvisation of a deliberate act directly threatening our country’s integrity and sovereignty.”
Poroshenko said he is confident that it is necessary to adhere to the stance developed in the past five years that “Ukraine is above all things and Russia is an aggressor.”
