Petro Oleksiyovych Poroshenko (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 2008 to 2011, and as the Minister of Trade and Economic Development in 2013. From 2008 until 2013, Poroshenko headed the Council of Ukraine's National Bank.

Ukraine's "chocolate king" Petro Poroshenko was a major supporter of the anti-government protestors in Ukraine. Despite taking a revenue hit, when his products were effectively banned from Russia, Poroshenko continues to focus on external markets, particularly in the EU, where he opened his first shop in Budapest. He got his start selling cocoa beans, then purchased several confectionery plants, uniting them in Roshen in 1995.
