Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said somebody had attempted to disrupt the ceremony of the opening of a center of administrative services in Mariupol, Donetsk region, which he attended.

"Somebody hates to see us launching the center of administrative services since the 102 line received a message saying that all is mine-studded here and the president shouldn't show up in the place," Poroshenko said in Mariupol, when opening the administrative services center on Wednesday.

According to Poroshenko, the intelligence reported that "the adversary has deployed self-propelled artillery mounts 18 km away" and it also served the purpose of derailing the center's inauguration.
