«We call on representatives of the party (Poroshenko — ed.) «European Solidarity» not to participate in political performances and try to convince their leader that politicization and scandalization cannot be a substitute for legal procedures and litigation. It's a shame, but another suspect in the «coal case» , Mr. (head of the political council of the Opposition Party — For Life party Viktor — ed.) Medvedchuk, showed more self-confidence and endurance than his longtime comrade Mr. Poroshenko,» the party's press secretary said in a statement published on Telegram Yulia Paliychuk. On December 17, 2021, Poroshenko, a suspect in the treason case, left the country and went on a diplomatic tour, during which visits to Turkey and Poland were planned. He later promised to return to his homeland on January 17. Poroshenko's defense and supporters have repeatedly stated that the ex-president's foreign visit was planned in advance. Earlier, the press service of the Ukrainian prosecutor general's office said that the prosecutor's office would ask the court to arrest Poroshenko in a treason case with the possibility of posting a bail of about $37 million. The party of the ex-president «European Solidarity» considers this political repression. According to a number of Ukrainian media, the Kiev Pechersk Court allowed Poroshenko to be detained in order to take him to court and choose a preventive measure. Poroshenko first became a suspect in treason and aiding terrorism in the case of coal supplies from Donbass. Earlier, the ex-president said that 130 criminal cases were initiated against him, but about 40 of them were closed. Poroshenko has the status of a suspect in the case of the appointment of Serhiy Semochko as Deputy Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine. He is charged with abuse of power in this case. Poroshenko appears in cases on the appointment of judges, on the movement of paintings across the state border, on the incident with Ukrainian ships in the Kerch Strait, on the transfer of land. In these cases, the ex-president has the status of a witness.
