The Border Guards service explained why they did not allow Petro Poroshenko, who had scheduled meetings in Poland and the USA, to leave Ukraine.
In a comment to Ukrainska Pravda, the Border Guards official said that Poroshenko was not allowed to leave the country, as his business trip, which was signed by the head of the Ukrainian parliament Ruslan Stefanchuk, was later canceled.
The official stressed that during the martial law, MPs can go abroad if there are appropriate decisions.
‘Regarding the MP you are interested in, the border guards have confirmation that his trip abroad has been cancelled. That is why he was not allowed to cross the state border of Ukraine,’ he explained.
In turn, MP Rostyslav Pavlenko made public an order confirming the cancellation of Poroshenko’s trip. It was signed by Oleksandr Kornienko, the first deputy speaker of the Verkhovna Rada.
Earlier, the former president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko stated on Telegram that the border guards do not allow him to leave the country.
On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
