Ex-leader Poroshenko returns to Ukraine to appear in court

Source: AP News

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Monday returned to Ukraine to face court on treason charges he believes are politically motivated.

At the Kyiv airport, where he arrived on a flight from Warsaw on Monday morning, Poroshenko was greeted by several thousand cheering supporters. Some carried banners reading “We need democracy,” and “Stop repressions.”

From the airport, Poroshenko is expected to head straight to court, which will rule on whether to remand him in custody pending investigation and trial.

This can only divide the Ukrainian populace at a time when it needs to be as united as possible. Makes you wonder who is behind it.
