President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko does not consider Russian President Vladimir Putin a strong leader because he does not keep his word.

"If you reach any agreement with Putin now, that means nothing," Poroshenko said in an interview with CNN shown on Sunday evening.

According to the Ukrainian President, a strong leader should be responsible and keep promises. "If you allow me to be absolutely straightforward, a strong leader means responsibility. Strong leader means a bright perspective for the country. Strong leader means to keeping promises," Poroshenko said.

In addition, he said, a strong leader has the ability to provide reforms and make people's lives better.

"And with that understanding of the strong leader, I hope Putin will become a strong leader," the Ukrainian president said.
