Petro Oleksiiovych Poroshenko (born 26 September 1965) is a Ukrainian politician, oligarch, and former bureaucrat who served as the fifth president of Ukraine from 2014 to 2019. He served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2009 to 2010, and as the Minister of Trade and Economic Development in 2012. From 2007 until 2012, he headed the Council of Ukraine's National Bank. He was elected president in 2014 in a landslide, avoiding the second round of voting by winning 55.46% in the first round.
During his presidency, Poroshenko led the country through the first phase of the war in Donbas, recovering most of the Donbas Region from the Russian separatist forces. In September 2014 and February 2015, Poroshenko would sign the Minsk Agreements effectively freezing the frontlines and greatly reducing casualties in the ongoing war. He also began the process of re-building the Ukrainian military which was largely dismantled during Yanukovych's presidency, a re-militarization which would continue under Zelenskyy's presidency. A staunch proponent of Ukraine's EU ascension, Poroshenko began the process of integration with the European Union by signing the European Union–Ukraine Association Agreement in June 2014. He also signed a VISA-free travel agreement with the European Union in June 2017, and re-oriented national trade towards the EU.
