A small group of activists went to Vinnitsa, a city about 200 km southwest of Kiev, to demand an end to the "lawlessness, thievery and deception." A separate group of protesters, including local residents, gathered in the town of Yahotyn at a Roshen logistics center.
"The president must choose, either engage in the business of government, or his own business," a statement on the movement's Facebook group reads.
Post reads: "Activists from the Ruk Vyzvolennya and local residents block the road to the Roshen logistics center near the town of Yagotin, Kiev region."
Ukrainian business newspaper Novoye Vremya recently rated Poroshenko as one of Ukraine's top five richest figures in 2017, with an estimated fortune of about $1 billion. Ahead of the 2014 presidential election, he promised to put his business dealings on hold, and to sell off Roshen. He later reneged on that promised. Novoye Vremya rankings in the last three years have shown him steadily climbing in the ranks, from 9th place in 2014 to 6th in 2015 to 5th in 2017.
