The fifth President of Ukraine (2014-2019), leader of the European Solidarity party Petro Poroshenko calls the accusations of his ties MP from the Opposition Platform – For Life faction Viktor Medvedchuk as groundless, according to the website of the political force.
“The authorities are once again trying to denigrate Petro Poroshenko as the leader of the Ukrainian, pro-European opposition amid the deplorable results of their own governance. Petro Poroshenko once again categorically denies accusations from the authorities and considers them a classic example of fabricated politically motivated cases and black PR against political opponents,” the European Solidarity press service said in the statement.
The party said the accusations against Poroshenko were made on the direct instructions of the current head of state, Volodymyr Zelensky, in order to “divert public attention from the crimes of the authorities identified by investigators and made public this week.”
