Petro Poroshenko Quotes

An angry enemy encroached on our lives, our territory, our freedom and our independence.

Our approach is very simple we have nothing to negotiate ... We have the Minsk format and we need immediately just a ceasefire and the withdrawal of heavy artillery and weapons and tanks from the touchline, the solution is very simple - stop supplying weapons ... withdraw the troops and close the border. Very simple peace plan. If you want to discuss something different, it means you are not for peace, you are for war.

We demand an unconditional peace, we demand a cease-fire, a withdrawal of all foreign troops, and closing of the border.... We will find a compromise within the country.

We are going to file a suit to the Hague tribunal, which must investigate into these crimes against humanity, it is a test for humanity and moral dignity. Because turning a blind eye to such horrible and shameful crimes means indulging terrorists and aggressors and violating high European values for which Ukrainians are suffering and dying.

We are for peace, but we accept the challenge of the enemy. We will protect our motherland.
