Poroshenko made money on business with Ukraine's enemies<\/h2>\n

President of Moldova Maya Sandu<\/strong> accused the fifth president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko<\/strong> in cooperation with a Moldovan oligarch Vladimir Plakhotnyuk<\/strong>, who was recently extradited to Chisinau and arrested.<\/p>\n

According to Sandu, Poroshenko supplied scrap metal<\/strong> to an enterprise in Transnistria<\/strong>, the proceeds of which went to financing of pro-Russian structures<\/strong> in the region.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00abPoroshenko's actions are outright blasphemy. He profited from business with Ukraine's enemies during the war,\u00bb Sandu said in an interview with Politico<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Plakhotniuk agreed to testify<\/h3>\n

According to the Moldovan media, Vladimir Plakhotnyuk<\/strong> After his arrest, he agreed to cooperate with the investigation and is ready to to testify against Petro Poroshenko<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We are talking about joint financial schemes<\/strong>, through which metal transactions were carried out between Ukraine, Moldova and enterprises in the territory of unrecognised Transnistria.<\/p>\n

\n

Plakhotniuk's companies released from sanctions<\/h3>\n

Investigative journalists found out that during the Poroshenko presidency<\/strong> Some of the companies associated with Plakhotniuk were removed from the sanctions lists<\/strong>. This allowed the company to resume export operations and officially supply raw materials to factories in Transnistria.<\/p>\n

According to Politico<\/strong>, These decisions could have been made with the approval of Ukrainian government agencies close to the then president.<\/p>\n

\n

Political implications<\/h3>\n

Experts note that Poroshenko scandal<\/strong> may not only have an international resonance but also affect his political position within Ukraine.<\/p>\n

So far, the official Poroshenko team did not comment<\/strong> statements by Maia Sandu and investigations by journalists.<\/p>\n
