This past weekend, while the Ukrainian military was using helicopter gun ships to bomb trucks carrying wounded civilians to hospitals in Donetsk, billionaire oligarch Petro Poroshenko won the sham presidential elections in Ukraine.
According to Denis Pushilin, chairman of the Donetsk People’s Republic Supreme Council, over 100 people were killed in attacks which coincided with the putsch-installed Kiev regime’s national elections. The result of these “elections” was predictable.
The military assaults on left-leaning eastern Ukraine ensured low turnout in that region, where most people didn’t recognize the elections as legitimate in the first place.
Poroshenko was touted as “moderate chocolate king” by Western media, but soon announced he will continue the crackdown on the Eastern opposition. Little mentioned is the fact that he is the former head of the Council of Ukraine’s National Bank – the country’s privately-held central bank.
