The former president of Ukraine and leader of the ‘European Solidarity’ party Petro Poroshenko stated on Telegram that the border guards do not allow him to leave the country.
According to Poroshenko, he is going to have a number of meetings in Poland and the USA.
The former president said that his trip abroad was approved by the head of the Ukrainian parliament.
‘I have a business trip signed by the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, but the border guards did not let me through. I am far from thinking that the border guards acted on their own initiative. Everyone can guess who canceled the document signed by the speaker of the parliament.’ Poroshenko wrote.
In Poland, the former president had to take part in the negotiations to end the blockade of Ukrainian carriers.
In the USA, Poroshenko planned to discuss the financial help to Ukraine with different political figures, including Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine.

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.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
