Former Ukrainian president: I ask the world not to trust Putin

I want to ask all CNN viewers, all people of the world, with a very simple request: Please don't trust Putin. Don't trust Putin. And two, don't be afraid of Putin”, Poroshenko said from Kiev in an interview for CNN.

Kremlin said on Saturday that Putin ordered Friday the Russian Army's ban on advancing Ukraine pending negotiations, but operations resumed after the government in Kiev allegedly rejected the talks. A Ukrainian presidential adviser denied in the early hours Saturday that Ukraine had refused to negotiate.

Poroshenko was asked about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's refusal to accept an offer by the United States for evacuation from the capital, Kiev, according to the Ukraine Embassy in Britain.

I think now is a crucial moment for my nation. And each person makes a decision for himself”, Poroshenko said of the current president's decision.

Poroshenko also said he is willing to die if necessary and is proud of his people and his country.
