    When asked to comment on the special status for the parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts which remain under the control of Russian combatants and their proxies, Poroshenko said: “There’s no special status for these regions in the law, but a special regime of self-governing.

    Poroshenko also lamented that the Western media is prone to making money on Russia’s desire to publish anti-Ukrainian propaganda in globally read outlets. “The Washington Times had their cover totally devoted to an advertisement that was saying what is wrong in what Poroshenko does,” he said and showed a copy of the newspaper’s issue. “Moreover, the Washington Post published a story which was ordered (by Russians).

    When Oleg Panyuta, anchor for the weekly news program at Ukrayina television station, asked the president whether he’s able to find common language with Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, “who stands for the violent resolution of the conflict,” Poroshenko said: “The president, the Cabinet of Ministers and the Verkhovna Rada are unanimous in their peace effort.
