Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has insisted on a prompt and transparent investigation into former MP and head of the Ukrainian non-governmental organization General Military Union of Ukraine Oleh Kalashnikov and journalist and former editor-in-chief of Segodnya Oles Buzyna, the presidential press service said.

“These crimes are obviously events of the same sort. Their nature and political sense are clear: this is deliberate provocation that brings grist to our enemy’s mill. It is aimed at destabilizing the internal political situation in Ukraine and discrediting the Ukrainian people’s political choice,” Poroshenko said.
