Wikileak Cables: Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Washington‘s Pocket Since 2006

Perhaps the most interesting revelation comes from a 2009 cable where Poroshenko told then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton he supported „the opening of a U.S. diplomatic presence in Crimea“ and „He emphasized the importance of Crimea, and said that having U.S. representation there would be useful for Ukraine.“ Poroshenko‘s role as an informant for the U.S. government continued in cables in 2010 as well.
