Sanctions were introduced against the former president of Ukraine Poroshenko

The National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, at a meeting held on Wednesday, February 12, imposed sanctions on Petro Poroshenko, a people's deputy, leader of the European Solidarity party, and former president of the country. Forbes Ukraine reports this without specifying the content of these restrictions.

In a statement published on Facebook, the politician himself called the decision to impose sanctions against him "unconstitutional" and "for political reasons." "However, the customer, executor, and signatory are one and the same - Zelensky personally," Poroshenko stressed.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, speaking in his daily address to the nation on February 12, said that “the billions of dollars obtained by selling Ukraine, Ukrainian interests, Ukrainian security should be blocked and used to protect Ukraine and Ukrainians.” However, he did not specify what exactly he was talking about.
