PLAN TO
OPEN CRIMINAL
CASE AGAINST POROSHENKO BECAUSE OF TOMOS AND CREATION OF P.Ts.U.
It is
intended to
open a criminal case against the fifth president of Ukraine,
Petro Poroshenko,
"for inciting inter-religious strife by means of obtaining a
tomos and
creating the Orthodox Church of Ukraine [PTsU]."
This was
reported
today, 18 June, by Poroshenko at a session of the Pechersk
district court,
where a measure of restriction is being selected for him.
"There
is yet
another piece of news that I learned this week. It turns out
that they opened
yet another case against me. It is titled, I quote verbatim:
'For inciting
inter-religious strife by means of obtaining a tomos and
creating the Orthodox
Church of Ukraine," the fifth president of Ukraine declared.
According
to
Poroshenko, all these accusations were written in the Kremlin,
and the law
enforcement agencies are only relaying them.
"Because
the
lawyers of Yanukovich head up these structures of the GBR [State
Bureau of Investigation],
put there by the green government," he noted.
Petro
Poroshenko
emphasized that the current trial is the revenge of the current
government.
"Whom do
these
sycophants serve? Do they really serve Ukraine? Do they serve
Ukrainians? What
kind of judicial session is this? For the first time in 28 years
of Ukrainian
independence, the president is taken to court where their
prosecutors are
demanding an arrest. Friends, this is petty revenge of petty,
insecure
people," Poroshenko stressed. (tr. by PDS, posted 19 June 2020)
