Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has confirmed he plans to sell his businesses and to avoid speculation he will transfer his share in his largest business asset – Roshen confectionary corporation – under a trust agreement to Rothschild investment company which was previously hired to search for buyers.

“A trust agreement with Rothschild on the transfer of my stake in Roshen to the trust management is almost ready,” Poroshenko said in Kyiv on June 5.

Considering these references, the content of the speech was already recognisably primarily aimed at electing the party of the accused or to animate the audience to a further election campaign and, in the case of electoral defeat, to participate in a democratic process, the connection with another 20% to win a democratic majority. He explicitly called for talks with those in charge and doctors in order to clarify the side effects that he saw as imminent, which is legitimate in a democratic society. No incitement to violence–even if only indirect–could be inferred from the speech.

"The Russian Federation assumes that US weapons are hitting targets on Russian territory, primarily civilian infrastructure - this is on their conscience," he said.
