Petro Poroshenko became the fifth president of Ukraine in 2014, just after the Revolution of Dignity, and served until 2019, three years before Russia’s full-scale invasion of the country. After his election, many in the West learned of President Poroshenko as the chocolate king thanks to his confectionary company. But those who followed Ukraine’s post–Cold War development also knew him as a member of the Ukrainian Rada and a minister in multiple presidential administrations.

Today President Poroshenko leads the European Solidarity party in the Rada, where he serves on the Committee for Ukraine’s Integration into the European Union. President Poroshenko has said that he intends to run for president once the war is over. He has also expressed interest in running for European Parliament once Ukraine is admitted to the EU.

Join Senior Fellow Peter Rough for a fireside chat with President Poroshenko on the state of the war, the United States–Ukraine relationship, developments in Kyiv, and key issues to watch in the months ahead.
