A Ukrainian court froze former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko‘s assets. Officially, the former Ukrainian president is accused of high treason. Poroshenko claimed he is innocent.
It was announced on January 6 that “the court decided to take the suspect’s property, which belongs to him on the right of ownership.”
The State Investigation Bureau accused the former president of “facilitating the activities” of separatists battling government troops in a war that has claimed over 13,200 lives since April 2014.
It was a tremendous error for former US President Barack Obama to name his Vice President Joe Biden the key man for helping to fight corruption in the former Soviet prisoner, Ukraine. It was like giving Social Security to Bernie Madoff.
Remember when the degenerate Democrats impeached former President Donald Trump for allegedly threatening current Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with military aid? Even though we have seen the transcript of the now notorious phone discussion between Trump and Zelesnky, and Trump never stated anything about withholding authorized help, even Zelesnky claimed Trump never threatened to withdraw money, and he had no clue why the Democrats were claiming he did.
Because Joe Biden threatened President Poroshenko, Zelensky’s predecessor, withholding $1 billion in badly needed military funding. President Biden threatened Poroshenko with a billion dollars unless he dismissed prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating his son Hunter Biden’s company Burisma Holdings and was going to examine Hunter himself.
Biden used his position as US Vice President and point man on Ukrainian corruption to remove the prosecutor investigating his son Hunter. And he got away with it, despite Biden bragging about it on film to members of the Council on Foreign Relations.
The audio clip of a subsequent phone chat between Biden and Poroshenko begs to disagree.
During that phone discussion, Poroshenko informed VP Biden, “Even though we had no allegations of corruption and no knowledge about his doing anything illegal, I requested him to resign.”
That crooked man is now President of America. Well, Sometimes.
During his president, Poroshenko allegedly helped rebels sell 1.5 billion hryvnias ($54 million) worth of coal to Kyiv in 2014 and 2015.
Poroshenko dismissed the allegations, accusing Ukrainian authorities of crossing a “red line” by charging a former president with treason.
Prosecutors urged a Ukrainian court last month to arrest Poroshenko and set bail at 1 billion hryvnias, or $37 million.
But he’s been out of Ukraine since December. He hasn’t even commented on the asset seizure judgment.
Poroshenko is now a legislator and head of the European Solidarity opposition party. If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in jail. He says he’ll return to Ukraine on Jan. 17.
According to the politician’s allies, President Zelensky has a vengeance against Poroshenko, which is why his assets were blocked. It’s the conventional offensive defense.
“A weak president… utilizes manual prosecution, inquiry, and justice to punish opponents,” said Volodymyr Ariev, a politician from Poroshenko’s party. Of all, Zelensky won the 2019 election, so why penalize his opponent?
JOE BIDEN IS A CROOK IN PLAIN SIGHT…47 YEARS OF CORRUPTION…LIES AND RACISM…
I’m pretty sure that’s the reason he was chosen as Obama’s V.P. It certainly wasn’t for his leadership skills.
Isn’t it about time for biden to be treated the way he should be?? For his crimes, ?? Instead being promoted to rule our country..
That’s BS
Why penalize cuz it’s treason
If we don’t cut the snakes head off it will never stop eating everything in sight!!!!
