Shows a high level of "trust" in your constituents doesn't it.

I concur James, I think he dosen't trust his own people. Do any of you think his trip to Mariupol increased the peoples morale, i personaly doubt it. Also how huge is the risk for Poroshenko to get killed if he will continue to visit town under heavy threat of attack? And if he dosent get killed i think he would be taken hostage.
