Where is Poroshenko?
According to official information, Poroshenko is heading to Turkey. This was confirmed Telegram-channel “Bearded Babushka”, having published a photo of the ex-president of Ukraine at the Borispol airport.
However, Rada deputy from the Opposition Platform – For Life party Renat Kuzmin on his page in Facebook suggested that the former president of the country, Petro Poroshenko, who left Ukraine, may be hiding from justice in Moscow.
Poroshenko seems to have read my post on Facebook and quickly rushed to the airport. Flight Kiev-Istanbul. From there to Moscow?
Suspicions of treason
In early October, the Ukrainian leadership suspected the country’s former president of high treason. Ukrainian law enforcement officials released the records concerning the case of Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the political council of the Opposition Platform – For Life (Opposition Platform – For Life) party, which, according to them, prove his guilt in high treason. The ex-president also appeared on these recordings.
These tapes allegedly record telephone conversations between Medvedchuk, including with former aide to the Russian president Vladislav Surkov and deputy head of the presidential administration Dmitry Kozak. Poroshenko is mentioned in these conversations. The head of the SBU promised to “work out” the involvement of the former head of state in the case, and an audit was started.

Poroshenko himself has rejected accusations of involvement in the criminal case against Medvedchuk. According to the ex-president’s associates, in this way the current leadership of the country is trying to “divert the attention of society from the crimes of the authorities.”
Petro Poroshenko categorically rejects the accusations from the authorities and considers them a classic example of fabricated politically motivated cases and black PR against political opponents
The ex-president said that government purchases of coal on the territory of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, mediated by the head of the political council of the Opposition Platform – For Life Party, Viktor Medvedchuk, were necessary to “save miners from hunger” and fight Russia. According to him, the issue of purchasing coal in the east of the country was resolved in late 2014 – early 2015.
As the ex-president noted, the state then had to get resources for the heating season “anywhere”. At the same time, he stressed that the current leadership of the country continues to indirectly purchase energy resources from Russia, including at the expense of state funds.
Why have you bought Russian coal worth $ 3.1 billion over the past 2.5 years? And isn’t this, from your point of view, financing of the aggressor country?
A new round of investigation
In early December, the former Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine Viktor Trepak warned that, according to his information, in the near future the office of the Prosecutor General may present Poroshenko with a new suspicion of trading in coal with the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR).
A draft of such a suspicion prepared by the office of the attorney general is being examined in the president’s office. It is being decided how expedient the implementation of such a suspicion right now and how this will affect the electoral mood of society
The former Deputy Prosecutor General noted that Medvedchuk and ex-Minister of Energy of Ukraine Volodymyr Demchishin are being investigated in the same case.
Poroshenko’s rating
In mid-December, the sociological agency “Rating” published the results of an all-Ukrainian poll conducted on December 6-8 in Ukraine. According to its results, it turned out that the citizens of the former Soviet republic are equally negatively disposed towards all the main politicians in the country.
