The Ministry of Justice has denied the information spread in some media about the ban on Petro Poroshenko’s European Solidarity party. This is stated on the Facebook page of the Ministry, Komersant ukrainskyi reports
“The widespread information that the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine is preparing a lawsuit to ban the European Solidarity political party is not true. The Ministry of Justice does not initiate and cannot initiate any lawsuits to ban the activities of political parties,” the statement said.
The Ministry of Justice demands that the disseminators of this false information provide official documents and sources on the basis of which such statements were made for further investigation.
It also reminds that persons acting in the interests of third parties and knowingly disseminating false information are liable under the law.
It should be noted that on February 12, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his traditional evening address that the National Security and Defense Council had imposed sanctions:
“Everyone who destroyed the national security of Ukraine and helped Russia must be held accountable.”
The President said that the billions earned by surrendering Ukraine’s interests should work for the benefit of Ukraine. He did not say whom exactly he meant.
After that, Poroshenko published an address and said that the sanctions were imposed against him. He called the decision unconstitutional.
