The former president of Ukraine and leader of the ‘European Solidarity’ party Petro Poroshenko called for the unity around the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
With this comment, Poroshenko reacted to the words of ‘Servant of the People’ MP Mariana Bezuhla. On November 26, she made a statement that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Valerii Zaluzhnyi had to resign.
Social networks immediately reacted to Bezuhla’s post, noting that she regularly provokes scandals directed against the Armed Forces, which undermines the moral and psychological condition of the Ukrainian military.
In turn, Petro Poroshenko emphasized the need to maintain unity around the Armed Forces for victory.
‘The only chance for Ukrainians to survive and win the war against Russia is to draw conclusions from their own history. And keep the unity of the nation. Around the Armed Forces. Attacks on the Armed Forces are attacks on Ukraine’, the former president stressed.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now.

Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
