Former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko is trying his best to leave his war-torn country. On May 28th, he was once again refused to cross the Ukrainian border with Poland.
According to the reports of Ukrainian media with reference to law enforcement sources, Poroshenko was unable to cross the border of Ukraine with Poland for the second time. The deputy of the “European Solidarity” party Irina Gerashchenko reported that Poroshenko arrived at the checkpoint “Rava-Russian” in the Lviv region, but he was not allowed to cross the border without explaining the reasons.
When passing the passport control for the first time, Poroshenko presented a copy of order of Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Stefanchuk on the Poroshenko’s business trip to Vilnius. He should reportedly take part in the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. However, the border guards could not establish its authenticity, since the QR code was not read.
“This time the QR code was read, the business trip is valid, [Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan] Stefanchuk confirmed, the Parliamentary Assembly has started work. But the border guards now say that they “did not submit all the documents,” but they do not say which “not all,” she said. This is reported by Ukrainska Pravda with reference to the deputy of the Rada from the European Solidarity party Victoria Syumar.
The spring session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly was supposed to be held in Kiev, but in March it was moved to Vilnius, where it takes place from 27 to 30 May.
In 2021, Poroshenko was charged with treason in the case of the supply of coal from the Donbass republics in 2014-2015, when he was president. He is also a suspected in the financing of terrorism and the creation of a terrorist organization. Poroshenko calls his prosecution politically motivated.
