Poroshenko says personally saw "little green men" on Crimea visit in 2014, there was "threat to life"
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has spoken in detail about his trip to Crimea in late February 2014, when he was a Ukrainian People's Deputy, noting that he personally saw the so-called "little green men" [aka Russian troops without insignia] near the building of the Supreme Council of Crimea, adding there was an immediate threat to his life during the trip.
Testifying via a video conference as a witness in the treason case of former President Viktor Yanukovych, Poroshenko said that on February 27, 2014, he came to the office of the then Acting President of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov with a proposal to fly to Crimea and "hold talks with Crimean deputies to halt destructive processes that had begun with the attempt to declare an illegal referendum, and to convince them, and to personally witness the developments that took place that day in Simferopol and Crimea," an UNIAN correspondent reports.
