Petro Poroshenko became the fifth president of Ukraine in 2014, just after the Revolution of Dignity, and served until 2019, three years before Russia鈥檚 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鈥檚 post鈥揅old 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鈥檚 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.
