The Russian Federation is ready to grant political asylum to the fifth president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko.
This was stated at a briefing by Russian President Vladimir Putin after talks with French President Emmanuel Macron, RBC reports.
“Much ironic”
“We are ready to grant asylum to people like Mr. Poroshenko in Russia,” he said.
The President of Russia said that he had previously offered Petro Poroshenko to grant asylum if he had “some difficulties in the future.” According to Putin, the fifth president “was a lot of irony on this issue.”
Vladimir Putin also said that he considers “the prosecution of Poroshenko as a state criminal an excessive bid for the success of the current leadership.”

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