OREANDA-NEWS President Petro Poroshenko: The enemy sees positive changes in the Armed Forces, that is why he is trying to destabilize the situation in the rear.

At the operational meeting of the administrative board of the Armed Forces, President Petro Poroshenko emphasized: the efficiency of the Ukrainian troops didn’t remain unnoticed by the enemy who is now trying to destabilize the situation from inside.

“The enemy noticed positive changes in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Otherwise he wouldn’t double and triple efforts on the internal destabilization. The frontline is a hard nut to crack, that is why they are thinking what to blow up in the rear. And they don’t just think, but act as well. And not by themselves, but with the assistance of the fifth column,” Petro Poroshenko noted.

The President reminded that the Security Service has recently revealed a group of the fifth column that had been preparing various measures to destabilize the situation in Ukraine on direct orders from Russia. They administered websites, gathered groups in social networks with many thousands of participants called “Ukrainian Revolution”, “Third Maidan”. All this was administered from St. Petersburg and Moscow.

However, according to the President, this is not the only technology of Moscow. Some people act for money or even for idea. But there are lots of people unaware that they are used by Moscow. “There is no need to order them. They will do everything themselves due to political shortsightedness or egoism. They have no boundaries in the internal political struggle. They are not ashamed to accept a pass from the foreign enemy or to give him a pass,” the Head of State said.

According to the President, a lot of efforts were made to organize as much provocations as possible on the anniversary of murder of the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred. “They are looking for at least a drop of blood that may cause mass rallies. By the way, channel “Zvezda” and other Russian resources have been covering the third Maidan most actively,” he noted.

Petro Poroshenko thanked dozens of thousands of Kyiv residents and those who came to the capital to take part in the mourning events in the memory of the fallen heroes and who don’t react to any provocative anti-state calls. And to those who take part in peaceful protest these days, because this is the right Maidan fought for.

He added that as President he will defend the interests of these Ukrainians.

“I would like to express gratitude to the senior officials of the law enforcement bodies as well. This time, they have performed brilliantly. As military ensure peace of Ukrainians on the frontline, new Ukrainian police does the same in the rear - ensures security of participants of mass rallies defending large groups of people from possible terrorist attacks and any provocations with the use of weapons,” Petro Poroshenko emphasized.
