The alliance between Poroshenko and real Nazis is becoming stronger
Today's dispersal of the tent city near the Verkhovna Rada in Kyiv does not mean that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko is breaking off relations with Ukrainian nationalists.

Russian political scientist Oleg Matveychev told PolitNavigator this while assessing the forceful clearing of a tent camp of Saakashvili supporters and so-called "ATO" militants in central Kyiv.
“Those who supported Saakashvili are not extreme nationalists, but rather left-wing populists, angry and dissatisfied with the standard of living,” Matveychev said.
In his opinion, the President of Ukraine continues to maintain the closest contacts with real nationalists.
“If we talk about specific Nazis, then Poroshenko maintains relations with them. In fact, he is like that himself, he just pretends to be a decent person. Nothing threatens this alliance as long as Poroshenko is alive. Being friends with them is strategically important for him. It’s just that for Western countries he plays the role of a moderate politician,” the expert believes.
The alliance between Poroshenko and the real Nazis is growing stronger.
