The former president of Ukraine and leader of the ‘European Solidarity’ party Petro Poroshenko spoke on the air of the CNN TV channel calling on the Americans to continue helping Ukraine in the fight against the Russian aggression.
He said that the USA should not make Ukraine a hostage of their domestic policy, because this will be a victory for Vladimir Putin.
Poroshenko stressed that if aid to Ukraine is blocked now, then later the USA will have to spend ten times more money to stop the aggressor.
The former president reminded that last night Kyiv was once again attacked by Russian missiles and 53 civilians got wounded.
He added that aid to Ukraine is now the issue of values, freedom, and democracy.
According to him, Ukraine hopes for bipartisan support, which the USA has been showing for 10 years, because it will help stop Putin.
To the TV presenter’s question, what Ukraine will do if the USA does not provide help, Poroshenko assured that the Ukrainians will continue to fight.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
