I stress that the role of Ukrinform in this process is extremely important. That is why today at the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Ukrinform my place is here,” said Poroshenko.

Commenting on the 100-year history of the agency, Poroshenko noted that one hundred years ago, state officials of the then Ukraine saw the same techniques of the Russian hybrid war.
