Former Ukrainian president Poroshenko hopes for comeback after war

Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has hopes of returning to his country's highest office at some point, he told Al Jazeera in an interview broadcast early on Wednesday.

Even though elections cannot be held under conditions of war, Poroshenko made clear that he plans to campaign once they can.

But before elections are held, Ukraine has to secure victory over Russia, he said.

"This war is bigger than Ukraine. This is about world order, freedom, democracy," he said. "We are here fighting and saving the world." Poroshenko, who heads the largest opposition party that is not banned, said.
