A. BABINETS & V. LAVROV: When Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko
ran for the top office in 2014, he promised voters he would sell Roshen,
Ukraine’s largest candy business, so he could devote his full attention
to running the country
...
Instead, actions by his financial
advisers and Poroshenko himself, who is worth an estimated US$ 858
million, make it appear that the candy magnate was more concerned about
his own welfare than his country’s – going so far as to arguably violate
the law twice, misrepresent information and deprive his country of
badly needed tax dollars during a time of war.
