The head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko at the enlarged government meeting, said that his country will remain a unitary state and Decentralization will Not have anything to do with federalization.
"Decentralization, which we are developing, will Not have anything to do with federalization. Ukraine has been and will be a unitary state, "said Poroshenko, RIA" Novosti ". He also said that Decentralization in his country will Not provide any delegate to designated authority in the sphere of defense." I wish to warn you that there are a range of issues which Decentralization will Not be affected in any way, where the role of the centre, the role of the country would Not decrease, but increase. This applies to defense. Will not have any delegate of the rights of the defence of the country, will Not have any local battalions, divisions of the people's militias and other nonsense, " said Poroshenko. In addition, He said that he was ready to accept any delivery mechanism of the rights of territorial communities, which exists in the federated Russia, " reports the news Agency. Remember, February 7, Poroshenko in Munich said that he is ready to put to a referendum issues of federalism and the status of the Russian language. However, before Poroshenko has stated many times that Ukraine will Not become federalization and power ready to go only to the delegation of authority to local councils in the framework of decentralization. So, February 3, Poroshenko said that " Ukraine will Not become a Federal, but will remain a unitary state. The European choice is Not subject to discussion, and the only official state language is Ukrainian. Poroshenko says that 85% of Ukrainians support the idea. The Manager noticed that I am confident in this choice of Ukrainians and may even bring the issue to a referendum."
