Ukraine: Ex-leader Poroshenko to return amid treason charges

Petro Poroshenko, the former president of Ukraine, is to return to Kyiv amid the looming threat of Russian aggression. Critics have questioned the timing of the move.
Ukraine's former president, Petro Poroshenko, said on Sunday that he is planning on returning to the country despite facing charges of treason.

Poroshenko is being investigated over an alleged link to the financing of Russian-backed separatist fighters in eastern Ukraine through the illegal sale of coal during his time in office.

The former president denies the allegations and has said that they were put together by allies of the current president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He appeared confident that he would not be detained.

"If you ask me if I will be arrested, definitely not. I return to Ukraine to fight for Ukraine, not to fight with Zelenskyy," Poroshenko told reporters in Warsaw.

Ukraine's Donald Trump - another Putin puppet.


He'll enter the country in a Russian occupied area after the invasion.

Any other way spells prison or worse.

Ukrainians are not fools.
