Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has claimed that the presidential election in the country could be held on October 26.

Axar.az reports that he said this in an interview with the "Sensor" publication.

Poroshenko noted that information about this was disseminated from sources in the Office of the President of Ukraine and law enforcement agencies.

"Note: October 26 of this year...", - he said.
