Poroshenko wrote a secret letter to Zelensky: details

Ukraine’s fifth president, Petro Poroshenko, has sent a non-public letter to incumbent President Volodymyr Zelensky urging him to end the strife amid external threats. Diplomat Konstantin Eliseev spoke about this on the air of the Ukraine 24 TV channel.

“In an interview, the fifth president unexpectedly said that he had recently sent a personal letter to President Zelensky, where he made one appeal: let’s leave domestic political discussions and emotions and let’s unite the country in the face of the threat of full-scale Russian aggression. I really hope that President Zelensky received the signal , and that President Zelensky will demonstrate leadership”– he said.

Petro Poroshenko himself previously spoke about this in an interview with the CNBS television channel, which was released on February 3. He said it happened 2.5 weeks before.

“I wrote a personal letter and gave it to him through the speaker of parliament. It was a call for unity. We must unite to repel a possible attack by Putin”– he said.

Putin’s proposal

Russian President Vladimir Putin during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron said that the Russian Federation is ready to provide political asylum to Petro Poroshenko. Putin said that he had previously offered Petro Poroshenko to grant asylum if he had “some difficulties in the future.”

Putin also said that he considers “the prosecution of Poroshenko as a state criminal an excessive bid for the success of the current leadership.”

In response to this, the fifth president of Ukraine gave advice to Putin.

“It is time for Vladimir Vladimirovich to finally realize that we will figure it out ourselves here in Ukraine. And the age-old Russian practice of “taking care” of Ukrainian politics and politicians has long ceased. This happened when I was elected president of Ukraine”– said Petro Poroshenko.

The politician also said that, pursuing the pro-European opposition in Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “wants to give a gift to Putin.”

Case of Poroshenko

The fifth president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, was declared suspected of treason on December 20. He is suspected of participating in a criminal scheme for the supply of coal from the temporarily occupied territories for a total amount of about 1.5 billion hryvnias.

On December 17, SBI investigators tried to personally hand the summons to the fifth president, but Poroshenko drove away from them in a car. On the same day, Poroshenko left for a trip abroad that lasted a month. On January 19, the Pechersky District Court of Kiev chose a measure of restraint for Petro Poroshenko – he was released on personal obligation, but the politician’s property was arrested.

At the same time, Petro Poroshenko arrived for interrogation at the State Bureau of Investigation and stated that he refused to cooperate with the investigation. The politician noted that this position was agreed with the lawyers.

Also, the Kiev Court of Appeal postponed the hearing on the appeal against the court’s decision to seize Petro Poroshenko’s property. The reason was the illness of one of the judges.
