During his visit to the NATO summit, which took place on September 4-5 in Wales, he was also promised 15 million euros in aid to help facilitate military reform in Ukraine. However, the status of the NATO's privileged partner, which the current Ukrainian leadership craves, is currently not an option.

Poroshenko promised that his first official visit as the president of Ukraine will be made to the eastern regions of the country, claiming that he'll "come in peace bearing the project of the country's decentralization". The Ukrainian army's punitive operation came instead, indiscriminately shelling populated areas and conducting airstrikes.

Before his presidency, Poroshenko's assets were worth about $1.6 billion, according to Forbes. His primary asset, the Roshen Confectionery Corporation, has earned him the monicker "chocolate king". Before the elections Poroshenko promised to sell the corporation, claiming that his intent was to care only for "the country's well-being". However, the corporation still remains his property, just as the Channel 5 of the Ukrainian television that Poroshenko controls. He has never offered to relinquish ownership.
Poroshenko's government is currently facing a monumental task of saving the country from a potential collapse as well as attempting to preserve the ailing Ukrainian economy with the help of foreign loans.
