Signs for Poroshenko: a soldier fainted at the inauguration, and instead of a solemn speech there was a prayer (PHOTO)
Kyiv, June 07 (Navigator, Vladimir Raichenko) – For the second consecutive inauguration of the President of Ukraine, there is an unfortunate incident. Last time, the doors were closed before Viktor Yanukovych entered the Verkhovna Rada building.

And today Petro Poroshenko was unlucky, in front of whom a soldier of the honor guard fainted, dropping a carbine with a bayonet from his hands. The president did not react to the incident, and the soldier had to be led away by the arms.
After the inauguration ceremony, Poroshenko inquired about the soldier’s well-being.
There were some hiccups in the Verkhovna Rada chamber as well. The new president calmly negotiated the steps and doors. But when Verkhovna Rada Speaker Oleksandr Turchynov announced Poroshenko’s speech, “Prayer for Ukraine” was heard instead of the inaugural speech.
Lovers of omens interpret both of these cases differently: some see a good sign – there will be no more fighting in Ukraine, while others assume that Kyiv will “fall”.
Poroshenko himself smiled during the ceremony, but could not resist tears, taking command of the Armed Forces: during the march of the National Guardsmen, he had tears in his eyes.
