During testimony at his ousted predecessor’s treason trial, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has called Russia “an aggressor country” that planned “a well-coordinated hybrid war against Ukraine.”
In video-link testimony at Viktor Yanukovych’s trial, Poroshenko said that, in February 2014, when Yanukovych fled to Russia in the face of pro-European protests, Moscow implemented its plan to seize Ukraine’s Crimea region and instigate separatism in Ukraine’s eastern regions of Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Odesa, Luhansk, and Donetsk.
