Initially, the pressure on Petro Alekseevich was personal, then grew into part of the wider context of “deoligarchization”. On the first day of a full -scale war, the fifth and sixth presidents seem like They reconciledbut only in a month – two enter into an even deeper phase of the conflict.

Coal and sanctions From the very beginning of the invasion of Bankov gradually restored her pressing on Poroshenko. At first, it was expressed in the detachment from the digital broadcasting of the media from its pool. Is it quite innocent to limit the departures of the European Solodarity leader abroad.

However, after the change of government in the United States, the undeclared political season in Ukraine actually started. All and all in the world of political world unexpectedly dragged in the swirl of preparation “before the elections for spring / May / summer / autumn”.

For Petro Poroshenko, this had no obvious consequences: in early February, the NSDC voted for the imposition of personal sanctions against the fifth president. On the eve of Valentine’s Day, Zelensky, by his decree, gave these sanctions of legal force.

According to the UP from the sources in power, the motivational part of the sanctions referred to “participation of Poroshenko” in the preparation of the so -called “Kharkiv Agreements” and organizing it with Viktor Medvedchuk “Coal Scheme”.

It was first exposed to the Ukrainian Truth in 2016, according to which coal from the occupied mines of Lugansk and Donetsk regions came from the occupied mines of Lugansk and Donetsk regions.

It is quite symptomatic that it was only after the NSDC decision to intensify security forces in this “coal business”, which has been lying without movement for years.

In December 2021, as part of this proceedings, DBR declared a suspicion of state treason. In January 2022, an expatriate with battles and rallies returned to Ukraine to court that he had to choose a measure of restraint.

A few weeks after that the full -scale invasion of Russia began, the country was focused as much as possible in the war. But this did not prevent on September 2, 2022, the State Bureau of Investigation to declare that it had completed an investigation into coal smuggling history.

Since the spring of 2025, no movements in “coal business” have not been visible.

As soon as the response of the sanctions, the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv restricted the protection of Poroshenko’s term of acquaintance with the case file until April 15.

Poroshenko’s lawyer Ilya Novikov in a conversation with the UE said that he is now deciding which of the courts of Kiev will be assigned to the case.

“Judges who would not make decisions on Poroshenko ended in Pechersk court”– the UE interlocutor jokes in the expansion team. Although this is not a joke.

Poroshenko’s defense draws attention to the fact that Medvedchuk and other person involved in the course of the investigation changed the wording in suspicion. But about Poroshenko as an existing MP, only the Prosecutor General can do it. And after his release, Kostin is gone.

Therefore, investigators in the indictment took the old suspicion text, without taking into account any protection data. Although changes in the suspicions of other persons involved have been made, it is contrary to common sense.

Another important “nuance” in “coal” history happened on September 21, 2022: one of the main persons involved in the case – Viktor Medvedchuk – gave Russia, exchanging two hundred Ukrainian prisoners of war.

“Medvedchuk’s testimony is documented,” the Prosecutor General Andrei Kostin explained. The SBU made a similar statement in May 2022, when she reported “Medvedchuk’s testimony against Poroshenko.” Therefore, who should be the main culprit, there is no doubt.

Especially considering that the then Minister of Energy Volodymyr Demchyshyn for several years left the country. In order not to spoil the impression of the completion of the investigation, the Case Demchyshyn was simply taken into a separate episode and transferred the case to court without it.

But perhaps the most disadvantageous aspect of “coal business” is that there is no money in this great story about “blood trade”. That is, Poroshenko is charged not by enrichment or corruption, but by state treason and the promotion of terrorists “L/DNR”.

Another “sanction” accusation is the preparation of Poroshenko “Kharkiv Agreements”. This is the most fresh episode of accusations against the former president. It was within his framework, for example, that recently searched from the key adviser Peter Alekseevich on the issues of international relations Konstantin Yeliseyev.

This is very simple here. Poroshenko was the head of the Foreign Ministry from October 2009 to March 11, 2010. He worked with Victor Yanukovych for the last two weeks of work in this position, who became President on February 25. And, according to the investigation, Poroshenko was preparing the text of scandalous “Kharkiv agreements” in the Foreign Ministry, which signed more than a month after his resignation.

In the team of Poroshenko himself, such accusations cause a storm of emotions.

“This is very interesting: it is not Gryshchenko, Demchenko, Levochkin, or anyone else there, and Poroshenko, who was not even in office even then, prepared these” Kharkiv Agreements. ” – the interlocutor is indignant from the immediate surroundings of the expatriate.

And so on these charges of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other agencies are now receiving requests on the seizure of documentation, and to Yeliseyev, who then worked with Poroshenko in the ministry, they are searched.

The right “pipe” The most dynamic and stunning case against Petro Poroshenko is the so -called “Medvedchuk Pipe”.

This is also a very long story about the Ukrainian area of ​​the Samara – Western Oil Drawing Drawing. After Ukraine’s declaration of independence, this pipe had to go into the property of the state. But the Russian AK “Transnaftoproduct” somehow forgot “to give a pipeline to the property of Ukraine.

And, according to the version of journalists, and then investigators, in 2017, the Commercial Court of Rivne region under pressure and general management of the Poroshenko administration gave a pipeline to the company from Medvedchuk’s orbit.

At first, the case was investigated by the National Anti -Corruption Bureau. Subsequently, she was transferred to the SBU.

“The decision to transfer was made by the Attorney General’s office. This was due to the fact that in two years when this case was in NABU, it failed to make significant progress. In addition, some of the persons involved in the proceedings are not the NABU investigated”, “ – explains the interlocutor of the UE in law enforcement agencies.

The source in another department says that NABU had problems with the anti -cork.

“The judges did not agree in this case any NSRD (unspoken investigative-search actions-UP) and other special actions. And when they were transferred to the SBU, everything ran faster,” – explains the interlocutor in the leadership of the power unit.

And recently, as the UP became known, the DBR also appeared in an investigation, which also concerns the case of Medvedchuk Pipe. But about him a little later.

Such competition for who will first reach the “Great Product”, sometimes leads to anecdotic situations, when different organs are searched for the persons who were about to searce other investigators, etc.

However, even in such a situation, as the UE interlocutors persuade in power circles, the investigation is quite dynamically moved. For example, some of the Rivne judges “were able to recall” people who called “Kiev” and the essence of their instructions.

In this context, it is worth mentioning the searches at the end of April in the former deputy head of AP of Poroshenko Alexei Filatov, who smoked the judicial system.

In the same days, the DBR broke in searches to Svetlana Paniaotidi, who worked at the Antimonopoly Committee at the beginning of the presidential cadence of Peter Alekseevich. During her work, the AMCU made a decision that actually allowed companies from Medvedchuk’s orbit to buy the scandalous pipe mentioned.

According to the UP, after the activities of recent months, prosecutors have returned to the idea that this case should be given to NABU in jurisdiction. This should happen soon.

However, in the case of Medvedchuk’s pipe, as well as in the case of coal smuggling, there is one significant drawback more media than a legal nature. No movement of corruption money is recorded in the Corruption Scheme of the Decade.

Formally, this cannot stop the investigation. But the media effect will be very limited.

So in the story of Medvedchuk’s “Medvedchuk Tube” there is a generally unprecedented episode. Several interlocutors of the UE in early spring told about some “sensational video” in Poroshenko. Later, this “sensation” was reported by the lawyer of Expatable Ilya Novikov.

The essence of the plot turn is that the lawyer of “Medvedchuk’s wallet” Taras Kozak allegedly conveyed a video of the DBR by investigators and asked him to investigate what they had taken care of.

According to the descriptions of the investigators themselves in the court and the interlocutors of the UP, who personally viewed this video, a group of unknown persons was recorded on it. According to all related features and nature of the task, these were employees of Russian special services.

In the video, they load 10 black bags in Moscow, claiming the camera that there is money there, posing with a fresh issue of a newspaper for March 28, 2019 and “fixes” in every possible way.

Later, probably, after a pole in Belarus, the plane land in Kiev at Zhuliany Airport. A person like the deputy protection of the then President Poroshenko rises on board, and begins to list the contents of the bags. After all, he picks up 7 bags out of 10. The video shows the amount that is allegedly put in these bags – just less than 40 million euros.

Video is a clear Russian bookmark, which came from a traitor and a subcanal associate of Medvedchuk. But such over -toxicity for the ethical standards of DBR and some Kiev courts is not the problem. According to the results of the “review” of this video, investigators have already drawn up the corresponding protocols, opened the appropriate proceedings, ordered a variety of examinations in order to legalize this “evidence”.

Advertising:

And most importantly, Poroshenko’s guard and two drivers have already arrested with a pledge of more than UAH 400 million. That is, in fact – without the chance of release.

In addition, the DBR opened on this video a separate episode of smuggling of money against Poroshenko’s guard. Thus, this video will be recorded as part of a lawsuit.

But no matter how many phonological or portrait examinations were conducted by investigators, they cannot solve the main task – to prove that the suitcases had money. Not objects that look like money, namely 200-Europe.

Without this, all the efforts of the DBR investigators to give history to the final touch in the form of “black cache in suitcases” will be in vain. And there are no bundles of “items similar to money”.

The desire to “punish Poroshenko” was one of the leading ideas of the Green’s hike in power at all. In 2019, it looked like the main driver of Ze! Team.

In fact, a number of high -profile corruption investigations, in particular “Ukrainian Truth”, gave a very wide field for the quality of law enforcement. However, the new government team has chosen the way very quickly when rapid media results are more important than boring and long processes.

As a result, at the beginning of the seventh year of the presidency, even the topic of “Poroshenko’s religion” has already exhausted its electoral stock.

When you are so long in power when your team is overgrown with your own “Pigs“, and the old corrupt officials are mentioned only in the moments of falling rating or activating election conversations, it is unlikely to become a great idea of ​​victory.

“I do not know what ours were so for him. They would be left alone, it would be much easier. He would have been walking, he would be calmly forgotten and the rating would continue to fall,” the interlocutor of the ruling team in a conversation with the UP.

“And so we will only give this press to Poroshenko another chance for political revival. We will do it ourselves,” he is indignant.
