Poroshenko run as a hardliner to begin an "Anti-Terrorist Operation" (Soviet term, also used by Russia for Chechnya) in what soon became the "ATO Zone". It was his program.
You might be mistaking him with Z, who run on the promise to end the war, and practically did end the fighting (as little as it was after 2015) until 2020, just not formally. Everyone not just in the world but on both sides largely forgot about until the Russian "exercises" began in late 2021.
It was a similar frozen conflict like this in Nagorno Karabakh until the Azeri offensive in 2020 that crushed the Armenians. Before that, and that's since the early 1990s, it was just occasional sniping and at most mortaring of each other's trenches. (Not counting an international incident Azeri officer axe-murdering an Armenian one in a NATO facility in Hungary.)
Civilian casualties during 2018-2022 were still almost weekly, but almost exclusively from the old mines and unexploded munitions.
Even the separatist leaders have long stopped murdering each other (or Moscow purging them, the latter according to Strelkov, who says he left because of that and in advance).
There was a peace. In our time.
