Petro Poroshenko Former president hits out at sanctions against him

In the corner of Petro Poroshenko's Kyiv office, a poster shows him shaking hands with Donald Trump, back in the US president's first term when Poroshenko was his Ukrainian counterpart. Those were happier times for Kyiv when it came to Trump: on the wall behind Poroshenko's desk hangs a certificate, signed by Trump's then secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, in 2018, vowing that the US would not recognise the annexation of Crimea.

Now, as a newly emboldened Trump embarks on his second term, Russian control of Crimea is one of many concessions to Moscow his negotiating team are reportedly considering. And instead of friendly handshakes, Trump dressed down Poroshenko's successor, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in the Oval Office last month.

Poroshenko, looking on, felt that White House meeting was a "disastrous mistake" by Zelenskyy. He blamed Zelenskyy's team for failing to give him an accurate "psychological portrait" of Trump.
