The President of Ukraine Poroshenko commented on the words Republican Donald Trump about the Crimea, calling them ‘pre-election rhetoric’.

Earlier, Trump repeatedly said that if elected the US president, he was ready to consider the issue of recognition of the Crimea as the Russian territory. Also, the billionaire did not rule out that he might lift the sanctions imposed on Moscow.

‘This is a part of the pre-election rhetoric. The future president, no matter who it is, will be a very responsible person,’ said Poroshenko in an interview with CNN.
