Petro Oleksiyovych Poroshenko ((ウクライナ語:Петро́ Олексі́йович Пороше́нко). It is pronounced (:pɛt'rɔ oɫɛk'sijovɪt͡ʃ poro'ʃɛnko); born 26 September 1965) is the fifth and current President of Ukraine, in office since 2014.〔 He served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2009 to 2010, and as the Minister of Trade and Economic Development in 2012. From 2007 until 2012, Poroshenko headed the Council of Ukraine's National Bank. Outside government, Poroshenko has been a prominent businessman with a lucrative career in acquiring and building assets. His most recognized ownerships are Roshen, the large-scale confectionery company which has earned him the nickname of 'Chocolate King', and a TV channel ''5 kanal'', an all-news national TV broadcaster. Due to the scale of his business holdings in manufacturing, agriculture and financial industry, his political influence that included several stings at government prior to his presidency, and ownership of an influential mass-media outlet Poroshenko has long been considered one of the prominent Ukrainian oligarchs even though not the most influential among them. He was elected president on 25 May 2014, capturing more than 54% of the vote in the first round, thereby winning outright and avoiding a run-off.〔 〕 ==Early life and education== Poroshenko was born in the city of Bolhrad, in Odessa Oblast, on 26 September 1965. He also spent his childhood and youth in Bendery (Moldavian SSR, now officially Moldova but under ''de facto'' control of the unrecognised breakaway state Transnistria.)〔(Continuity and Change in Transnistria’s Foreign Policy after the 2011 Presidential Elections ) by Marcin Kosienkowski, 2012, Academia.edu (page 38).〕 where his father Oleksiy was heading a machine building plant. In his youth, Poroshenko practiced judo and sambo, and was Candidate for Master of Sport of the USSR.〔 Despite good grades he was not awarded the normal gold medal at graduation, and on his report card he was given a "C" for his behavior.〔 After getting into a fight with four Soviet Army cadets at the military commissariat, he was sent to army service in the distant Kazakh SSR.〔 In 1989, Poroshenko graduated, having started studying in 1982, with a degree in economics from the international relations and law department (subsequently the Institute of International Relations) at the Kiev State University. At this university he was friends with Mikheil Saakashvili who he in May 2015 would appoint as Governor of Odessa Oblast (region) and who is a former President of Georgia .〔 (Saakashvili took over as head of the Odessa Regional State Administration ), Deutsche Welle (30 May 2015)〕 In 1984 Poroshenko married a medical student, Maryna Perevedentseva (born 1962).〔 Their first son, Oleksiy, was born in 1985 (his three other children were born in 2000 and 2001).〔 From 1989 to 1992 Poroshenko was an assistant at the university’s international economic relations department.〔 While still a student, he founded a legal advisory firm mediating the negotiation of contracts in foreign trade, and then he undertook the negotiations himself, starting to supply cocoa beans to the Soviet chocolate industry in 1991.〔 At the same time, he was deputy director of the ‘Republic’ Union of Small Businesses and Entrepreneurs, and the CEO “Exchange House Ukraine”.〔 Poroshenko's brother, Mykhailo, older by eight years, died in a 1997 car accident under mysterious circumstances.〔/(website has automatic Google Translate option) (Short bio ), LIGA〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Petro Poroshenko」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
