Ukraine's fifth president, Petro Poroshenko, told Al-Jazeera television on April 2 that he plans to run for president again after Russia's ongoing invasion of his country is over. Poroshenko also said that, if Ukraine becomes an EU member, he is ready to run for the European Parliament. The presidential election in Ukraine scheduled for March 2024 was postponed indefinitely because of Russia's aggression against its neighbor. Poroshenko served as Ukraine's president in 2014-2019. He lost in a runoff to incumbent Volodymyr Zelenskiy in 2019. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Russian Service, click here.
