The ex-president of Ukraine wants to overthrow Putin

When it comes to ending the war in Ukraine, you usually read about talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy (45) and Russian President Vladimir Putin (70). So far, a reconciliation seems unrealistic. China is trying to mediate and has presented a plan. But at the moment the fronts have hardened.

Now the former president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko (57) has spoken. He also has a solution: overthrow Putin. This requires five conditions that must be met, as Poroshenko writes in the “world”.

Petro Poroshenko proposes to shut down all Russian banks from the Swift system. And to freeze all international payments by Russia and Putin’s entourage. This is not yet the case. “All countries that support Russia in its war against Ukraine should expect ‘deviftization’,” the ex-president said. In addition, “any banking institution in any country that knowingly helps Putin’s regime to evade sanctions.”

Poroshenko would also concentrate all frozen assets of Russia and Russian oligarchs in a transparent fund. This is led by the US and the EU – “to ensure transparency and prevent them from falling into the hands of corrupt officials”. Poroshenko: “This fund should be fully used to support Ukraine.”

The former president of Ukraine also recommends that the West say goodbye to Russian oil and gas. Because they finance Putin and his government. Poroshenko: “Russia’s share of the world oil market is seven percent and can be replaced by the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and so on.” As for petroleum products, “about 30 percent of the world’s refinery capacity would remain vacant.”

In addition, Poroshenko wants to shut down part of the Druzhba pipeline, which supplies Russian oil to Eastern and Central Europe – and still brings Russia billions. Namely the southern branch. “Alternatives could be developed for Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia,” he says. For example, this could be a route through Croatia to meet their needs.

Finally, Petro Poroshenko proposes not only imposing sanctions on Russia’s massive shadow tanker fleet, “but also imposing secondary sanctions on those who buy the oil from these ships”. Putin wants to circumvent sanctions against his regular oil tanker fleet with a secret so-called shadow tanker fleet, writes the German newspaper Spiegel. This allows Putin to continue financing the war. That is why the countries that continue to buy Russian oil must also be punished. (two)
