A Ukrainian presidential candidate, independent MP Petro Poroshenko, has said that if the presidential elections in Ukraine are not held, then the situation will develop according to the "Crimean scenario." "If we fail to hold our elections, and if the elections are postponed according to a foreign scenario, there's a very serious risk that we will have Crimea-2, Crimea-3, Crimea-4," he said at a meeting with students of Ostroh Academy on April 12.
He said that only a strong government could win.
“My friends, I promise you that we’ll hold a solemn march on the parade ground of the Sevastopol Naval Academy with a Ukrainian banner on Ukrainian soil. We’ll do this only because Ukrainians on the continent will live much better than Ukrainians under Russian occupation,” Poroshenko said.
Early presidential elections in Ukraine are scheduled for May 25.
