In an interview with FRANCE 24, former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko (2014-2019) reacted to the US Senate withholding a major package of financial and military aid for Kyiv. Poroshenko warned that the coming days are among « the most important in Ukrainian history » and undoubtedly for the world. He called it « absolutely unacceptable » that Ukraine can be the « hostage » of other issues such as internal politics ahead of next year’s US presidential elections.
