DISINFO: Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko is advocating cutting off the Donbas...

SUMMARY

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko is advocating cutting off the Donbas area of Ukraine and building a wall to separate it from Ukraine.

RESPONSE

In fact, Petro Poroshenko has said precisely the opposite: “There is an offer to cut off these lands, give them to Putin, build a wall, forget about the Donbas, because we will never get it back … These are not propositions that I could ever consider." bit.ly/2sNtOmr,
