Poroshenko: If Odesa governor doesn't cope with maintaining order in Odesa, I will take my decision

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has given a vague answer to the question of whether he intended to replace Odesa regional governor.

"I have such right. As soon as I see that the governor does not meet the requirements that I put forward with the view of restoring order in Odesa, I will take my decision," Poroshenko said answering journalists' questions whether he intended to replace head of the Odesa Regional State Administration Ihor Palytsia.
