The main organizers of protest actions near the Verkhovna Rada building in central Kyiv aimed at destabilizing the situation in Ukraine and their demands were only a cover, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said.
“The main organizers showed that formal demands were only a smoke screen. The real plan of their actions is the destabilization of the situation in Ukraine,” Poroshenko said during a visit to the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service’s mobile border guard unit in Kyiv on Oct. 20.
Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili initiated the action near the Verkhovna Rada building.
