DISINFO: If Poroshenko wins elections, Ukraine will turn into a banana republic and hands of Western puppet masters will be fully unleashed

SUMMARY

The West counts on Petro Poroshenko winning a second term as president since he is a convenient candidate. With him Ukraine will complete its turn into a “banana republic” and the hands of the Western puppet masters will be fully unleashed.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory with no evidence given. Consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about the West meddling in the Ukrainian elections. For more cases see here.
