  1. How dare he have Hungarian bonds and declare the income!

    Ukraine’s public asset declaration website shows that Poroshenko declared Hr 517,173 ($13,755) on Oct. 23. The income was labeled as “interest” and its source was listed as the Hungarian Finance Ministry.

    One month later, on Nov. 24, Poroshenko similarly declared Hr 1,036,940 ($27,579). Another 36,067,500 ($959,265) was declared the same day as “bond redemption,” with the Hungarian Finance Ministry again as the source.

    European Solidarity said that the interest earned by foreign investments went to funding the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and “independent professional advisers” are responsible for making foreign investment decisions

  2. If it’s interest on bonds and bonds then this is a non-story. Deserves more scrutiny to see if the bonds in question were purchased by poroshenko or gifted to him at a prior date. That’s the important part. If it’s a “gift”, then it could be corruption.

  3. Interesting that the comments here are always immediately jumping to defending the guy. Seems like the bot farms now have an interest in propping him up.

  4. This is why Orban appears to be Putin’s bag-man.
    …or… I wonder how much of that was EU money?
