......You stated...(Poroshenko) “He never said that when he was running for president:....

Oh but he did and more than one occassion.

Poroshenko Interview that he would meet with Eastern and Southern Ukraine leadership:

Would you give autonomy to the regions?

We would give financial autonomy — what language to speak, what monuments to build. That is what people need.

Would the governors be elected locally?

An elected ‘local council’ would elect an executive committee [to appoint the governors]. NOT appoint them in Kiev by the prime minister or the president as today. Only defense, military, security and police would be controlled from the center.

I will do my best to try to unite the country...” To invite people from the south and east to the government”..... This is exactly what people need — to participate in the government of their country.

Sure they can have autonomy. All they need to do is throw down their weapons and surrender.

Any ‘autonomous’ zones will likely be ruled from Moscow

There is nothing in your link that shows Poroshenko saying that he would sit done with the unelected separatists.
