He quickly made signals that he was willing to work with both the EU and Russia, and is considered a pragmatist. President-Elect Poroshenko offered amnesty to any person who took up arms, but never spilled any blood, to just lay down their guns and go home. Very similar to what President Lincoln promoted after the US Civil War.
