KIEV, Feb. 11 – The planned decentralization of the Ukrainian governance system will be nothing like federalization, President Petro Poroshenko said.

"The decentralization that we are devising will have nothing in common with federalization. Ukraine has been and will remain to be a unitary state. This fully meets the Ukrainian people's attitudes, and I've said that over 90% [of Ukrainians] firmly stand on the positions of a unitary state," Poroshenko said at an expanded government meeting in Kiev on Wednesday.

Decentralization is among the most important aspects of the reforms, he said.
