Former President Petro Poroshenko said on Wednesday that Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council had adopted sanctions against him, and he accused current President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of undermining national unity.
“The National Security and Defense Council has adopted an unconstitutional, politically motivated decision - to introduce sanctions against me, Petro Poroshenko as the leader of the opposition and the fifth president,” Poroshenko said in a statement.
“Zelenskyy today struck a colossal blow to our internal unity which...has been our main weapon in the fight against the aggressor,” he said, referring to Russia’s nearly three-year-old invasion of Ukraine.
Zelenskyy, who won the 2019 poll by a landslide, said in his nightly video address that the council had approved decisions that would be made public on Thursday. He made no reference to Poroshenko.
“Anyone who has undermined Ukraine’s national security and helped Russia must be held accountable,” Zelenskyy said.
“The billions made in what amounted to the sale of Ukraine and Ukrainian interests and Ukrainian security must be blocked and made to work for the protection of Ukraine and Ukrainians.”
After Zelenskyy took power, Poroshenko was formally placed under investigation on charges of helping Russian-backed separatists who seized large parts of eastern Ukraine in 2014, eight years before the full-scale Russian invasion.
