Former President of Ukraine, People’s Deputy Petro Poroshenko said that the West should impose “hellish sanctions” against the Russian Federation in case of “aggression”, RIA Novosti reports.
“Putin must understand that in case of intensification of military aggression against Ukraine, he will receive a solidarity rebuff from the whole world. Ukraine needs lethal defensive weapons, and for the Kremlin – a list of “hellish” sanctions that will be introduced in the event of an offensive”, Poroshenko said on the air of the Italian TV channel Sky TG24.
The politician added that Kiev does not need the troops of the North Atlantic Alliance on the Ukrainian borders, as the country allegedly possesses “one of the most effective and powerful armies on the continent.”
“We are able to defend our land ourselves, but we certainly need defensive weapons and” hellish “sanctions against Russia today, if the aggression continues,” the people’s deputy summed up.
According to the People’s Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Yevgeny Muraev, ex-President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and the current head of state are “servants of foreign masters.”
