The head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko had failed, both in domestic and in foreign policy, and now the only Question is how long will He be in power, said the honorary Professor of the University of Binghamton (new York) in conversation RT.

"currently, the problem in Ukraine is the impact that right has on the government, and that attempts by Poroshenko to mobilize world public opinion against Russia in the UN has completely failed," - said the expert.

Political analyst believes that with the improvement of the situation in the South-East of the country the opportunity arises for the implementation of the agreements reached within the " Normandy Quartet ", and in the end Ukraine will start the process of federalization. At the same time the opponents of federalism - the right wing of the political spectrum of the country and the extremists will be hard to get international support for military actions of any scale.


James Petras also believes that Poroshenko is vulnerable and weak, and the deterioration of the economic situation of the Inhabitants the power of the current Ukrainian President is becoming not more legitimate." The question is, who will come to replace him, " adds the American Professor.

"Poroshenko does not know what He in reality wants. He fails on all fronts - He unsuccessfully tries to attack the Russian Federation, he cannot create an exit strategy economy out of recession, he has no military support. I don't think He will remain in power because He is a powerful leader with a clear foreign policy. He will remain President by inertia, as there is (in Kiev - approx. Ed.) there is no one who could implement an alternative program, " concludes the Analyst.
