The candidate for mayor of Kharkiv from the Eurosolidarity party, Alexander Skoryk, said that Petro Poroshenko is like an icon for his fellow party members. The video of Skoryk's speech was published by the Klymenko Time telegram channel.

Addressing Poroshenko, Skoryk said that he was very excited, since “our beloved hetman has come to us today.”

He called the former president of Ukraine "hetman" in behalf of whom "we have always gone into battle since the year of 2014 and from whom we created portraits like icons."

Skoryk assured Poroshenko that he loves him so much that even his wife is jealous of it.

He explains his love by the fact that Poroshenko has a “strong family, which we all look up to,” that Poroshenko is a “religious man” and has achieved great results in business.

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that according to the "cleric" of the OCU Alexander Dediukhin, Poroshenko is not only the Apostle Peter, but also St. Nicholas.
