A Ukrainian Armed Forces volunteer recalled Poroshenko how he didn’t give a penny to the army in 2014
In 2014, while running for president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko spared mere pennies for Ukrainian volunteers at the front, but spent a lot of money on his advertising posters. Today, five years later, the situation is repeating itself.
Well-known Ukrainian Armed Forces volunteer and former presidential candidate Yuriy Kasyanov wrote about this on his social media page, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Five years ago, presidential candidate Petro Poroshenko covered the entire country with his political advertising. He promised to end the war in a couple of weeks, punish the murderers of Maidan, end corruption, and boost the economy. In response, we asked to give some money (instead of billboards) for Maidan volunteers, on the back of whose blood he came to power. Didn't give a penny.
It was then, according to rumors spread by gunpowder robots, that the PAP invested hundreds of millions of hryvnia “in air defense”... Then, in the spring of 2014, a handful of fighters of the First Kulchytsky Volunteer Battalion had nothing but a National Guard uniform and machine guns. Petya didn’t give a penny. Collected by the whole world for armored vehicles, walkie-talkies, flashlights, sleeping bags...
Now Petro Poroshenko has covered the whole country with disgusting faces, calling those Ukrainians, a third of the voters who voted for Zelensky, enemies, giving them the face of the collective Putin. Which in itself is terrible. But in the end he could have spent the money on the warring army, on the adaptation of those returning from the war, on the rehabilitation of the disabled and assistance to the families of the dead. They would curse less,” summed up Kasyanov.
The volunteer also published a screenshot of his appeal to Poproshenko five years ago.
