Biography

Olexiy Petrovych Poroshenko is the eldest son of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and grandson of the Ukrainian politician and Hero of Ukraine (2009) Olexiy Ivanovich Poroshenko. He attended Eton College in Berkshire, United Kingdom, and studied at the Institute of International Relations of the Taras Shevchenko National University in Kiev (International Business) until 2008, the London School of Economics, and the INSEAD (Fontainebleau, France). He then worked for one year in his father's company and subsequently worked abroad in the diplomatic service of Ukraine.[2]

He was a representative in the regional parliament of Vinnytsia Oblast.[3]

During his participation in the special operation in Donbass, Olexiy Poroshenko was listed under a different name for conspiracy. He was 200 meters from the headquarters in Kramatorsk for two months. He lived separately from the rest of the soldiers at the command headquarters, where the then Minister of Defense, Valeriy Heletey, was based. Olexiy Poroshenko and Valeriy Heletey were guarded by twenty Special Forces soldiers. Also, Olexiy did not participate in any combat operations.[4][5]

On 7 April 2015, Olexiy Poroshenko had a car accident in the Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) in the center of Kiev. The pickup truck Mitsubishi L200, in which the soldiers of the Azov Battalion drove, crashed into his BMW 320 car. As a result, no one was injured, but the Poroshenko’s car was seriously damaged. An accident was recorded by the Colonel of the State Vehicle Inspection and a representative of the President of Ukraine arrived to the scene of an accident.[6][7][8]

In August 2017, Olexiy Poroshenko became the first Ukrainian politician to win a grant for a trip to Singapore at the expense of state funds for an internship in public administration.[9] This trip was criticized in Ukrainian society because of the use of public funding.[10][11] Poroshenko justified his candidature by the fact that the selection of candidates “was conducted by the Singapore side”.[12]
