In the European People’s Party – Europe and the largest group of European parliament – they expressed a surprise about sanctions against Poroshenko and see political motives in this.
The accusation of betrayal against the fifth president of Ukraine, which has been firmly opposed to Russian aggression since 2014, strengthened the armed forces, ensured the signing of the association between Ukraine and the EU and contributed to the consolidation of Ukrainian national identity, are meaningless and look exclusively political motives.
On behalf of my political family, I urge the President of Ukraine to reconsider this decision and avoid steps that undermine the national unity that is currently needed to ensure a strong negotiation position … and confirm Ukraine to join the EU, ”said ENP Manfred Weber
He called on the President of Ukraine to consider sanctions and avoid actions that undermine the “basic national unity in order to achieve strong negotiations on the aggressor and confirm Ukraine’s desire to join the EU.”
Weber also called on the President of the European Council, the President of the European Commission, the President of the European Parliament and the ENP member party to join the protection of unity in Ukraine.
We recall that NSDC on February 12 presented sanctions against Petro -Poroshenko and several other famous politicians and businessmen.
According to the presidential decree, the sanctions will be applied to Petro -Poroshenko, businessman Igor Kolomuski, billionaire Konstantin Zhevago, former co -breeding of Privatbank Gennady Bogoliubov and Viktor Medvedchuk.
Sanctions include special economic and other restrictive measures.
Subsequently, Zelensky called the conditions for the rejection of sanctions from Poroshenko. The president said that this would do this if the money is returned to Ukraine to pass the army.
We have a war, and people bring money, billions of hryvnia. This is everywhere the war – it began in 2014-2015. Removal of money, trading with separatist coals. I am simply surprised that previously the finmonation showed us anything. I have not seen this, but how it was – it’s hard to say. Security and financing service currently show billions. And all these people: Medvedchuk and Poroshenko – they are partners in this case, but I do not want to blame, the courts do this, ”he said.
