Humiliating End: Poroshenko’s Political Career is Over

The behavior of the Ukrainian elites shows that Poroshenko's fate has been sealed, and his overthrow is only a matter of a few weeks. Several Ukrainian power clans have gone to Washington in order to promote their own presidential candidate. Among them are the entourage of Yulia Tymoshenko, Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleh Lyashko, Ukrainian oligarch Rinat Akhmetov, and even ex-President of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili. All of them are united by one thing: the new administration has refused to holds any talks with them. Although Obama’s team members are communicating with them, no decision can be made since the end of the current US President’s term is in little over 40 days.
