The United States is closely following the case of former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. This was announced on Tuesday, December 21, by the press service of the American embassy in Kiev.
“The United States is closely following the case against former President Poroshenko. It is very important that the process and the result are based on the principles of the rule of law, and not on political motives, “- said in a message published in Twitter.
Earlier that day, Poroshenko called for an analysis of the actions of the current Ukrainian leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, on the subject of treason, since, in his opinion, they are controversial. In addition, Poroshenko, who left Ukraine, said that he intends to return to the country in early 2022.
The press service of the State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine reported that Poroshenko was notified of suspicion of treason and assistance to the activities of terrorist organizations in the case of coal supplies from Donbass. The ex-president is suspected of helping the self-proclaimed Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics, acting by prior conspiracy with a group of people, including representatives of Russia’s top leadership. Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the political council of the Opposition Platform – For Life party, is also involved in this case.
On December 17, investigators of the RRB were unable to summon Poroshenko for questioning. It was clarified that in the process of presenting the summons, the former Ukrainian leader ignored the security officials and left. On the same day, information appeared that Poroshenko had left for a pre-planned diplomatic tour to Turkey and Poland.
On October 12, Medvedchuk said that the case against him on the supply of coal from Donbass was fabricated by the Ukrainian authorities. On October 8, Poroshenko rejected statements by the country’s authorities about a possible collusion with Medvedchuk.
