{{Quote|All the time, Ukraine was an oligarch country. And all the time, oligarchs were together with the authorities. And this is the first time where we, and me as a president, undertake the serious task to limit the power of the oligarchs.|Petro Poroshenko}}'''Petro Oleksiyovych Poroshenko''' is a Ukrainian businessman and politician who served as President of Ukraine from 2014 to 2019.
Poroshenko served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2009 to 2010, and as the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade in 2012. From 2007 until 2012, Poroshenko headed the Council of National Bank of Ukraine.

Poroshenko served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2009 to 2010, and as the Minister of Trade and Economic Development in 2012. From 2007 until 2012, Poroshenko headed the Council of Ukraine's National Bank.

Poroshenko was elected president on 25 May 2014 after obtaining 54.7% of the votes in the first round, thereby winning outright and avoiding a run-off. During his presidency, Poroshenko led the country through the Russo-Ukrainian War, pushing the insurgent rebel forces deeper into the Donbas Region in the East. He began the process of integration with the European Union by signing the Ukraine–European Union Association Agreement.

In terms of domestic policy, Poroshenko promoted the Ukrainian language, nationalism, inclusive capitalism, decommunization, and administrative decentralization. In 2018, Poroshenko helped create the autocephalous Orthodox Church of Ukraine, separating Ukrainian churches from the Moscow Patriarchate.

His presidency was distilled into a three-word slogan, employed by both supporters and opponents: armiia, mova, vira. In translation from Ukrainian, it is: military, language, faith.

As a candidate for a second term in 2019, he obtained 24.5% in the second round, being defeated by Volodymyr Zelensky. There was no true consensus in the expert community on why Poroshenko lost, with opinions ranging from opposition to intensifying nationalism, failure to stem corruption, and dissatisfaction from overlooked Russian-speaking regions.

Poroshenko is currently a people’s deputy of the Verkhovna Rada and leader of the party European Solidarity.

Outside government, Poroshenko has been a prominent oligarch with a lucrative career in acquiring and building assets. His most recognized brands are Roshen, the large-scale confectionery company which has earned him the nickname of "Chocolate King", and the TV news channel 5 kanal. Due to the scale of his business holdings in the manufacturing, agriculture and financial sectors, his political influence that included several stints at government prior to his presidency, and ownership of an influential mass-media outlet, Poroshenko has long been considered one of the prominent Ukrainian oligarchs even though not the most influential among them.
