MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 21st December, 2018) Washington has to babysit Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko despite his low popularity ahead of the presidential election because a lot of money was put in him, the Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said on Thursday.
"Unfortunately, Washington has to babysit Poroshenko, even despite his rather poor electoral prospects. Too much money has been put in Ukraine, to much money has been put in justifying this overthrow," Peskov told Russia's Channel One.
Peskov suggested that such investment in the Ukrainian leadership should have paid off, but this did not work out.
"That is why the situation needs to be saved. Thus, we can see these absolutely unprecedented actions," Peskov pointed out.
Poroshenko came to power after what many consider to be an overthrow of former president Viktor Yanukovych in 2014.
