Poroshenko plans referendum on Ukraine's NATO membership

"Four years ago, only 16 percent favored Ukraine's entry into NATO. Now it's 54 percent. As president, I am guided by the views of my people, and I will hold a referendum on the issue of NATO membership," Poroshenko said.

He added he would do all he can to achieve NATO membership if the people want it.

Poroshenko also thinks Ukraine will soon fulfill the entry criteria to join the EU.

"Europe should realize that it would be more secure, reliable and happier with Ukraine," he said.
