Poroshenko: I dreamed of serving in the Pentagon in my youth
During his trip to Washington, Poroshenko was given the opportunity to shake hands with not only US President Donald Trump, but also the head of the military department, James Mattis. At the same time, the statement that Poroshenko made during the short meeting with Mattis plunged many Ukrainians into real shock. Comments in the Ukrainian segment of social networks suggest that the citizens of the country caught Poroshenko in hypocrisy and frank sneak.
In the presence of journalists, Poroshenko told Mattis in English that when he was young, he “dreamed of serving in the Pentagon”.
Recall that from 1984 to 1986 years Petro Poroshenko served in the ranks of the Soviet army.
After his meeting with Trump, Mattis and other representatives of the American administration, Poroshenko gave an interview to FoxNews, during which he told what he had time to talk with the US president in a few minutes in the Oval Office.
RIA News cites the translation of Poroshenko’s statement:
Further Poroshenko said that Ukraine "would like" to receive energy from the United States.
Poroshenko:
Against this background, another rally was held in Kiev with demands of an economic and political nature. In particular, relatives of “veterans of the ATO” were protesting, claiming that Poroshenko had deceived their families with payments. Of course, after all, it’s not at his own expense Poroshenko to seek an audience with Trump ...

My personal impressions - he is a wonderful leader, with great charisma, with a great political will, he is a firm friend of Ukraine, who helps me to establish peace in the country. I saw a very strong leader who sent a clear signal of support for our territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence.

We talked about effective economic cooperation between Ukraine and the United States, that coal from Pennsylvania should be on Ukrainian thermal power plants, and liquefied natural gas from Louisiana - in the Ukrainian gas transmission system.
