Poroshenko becomes a suspect in a high treason case?
The decision of the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv, which granted the request of the Main Military Prosecutor's Office to provide access to the original of the Kharkov agreements of 2010, which extended the stay of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Crimea, may turn out to be an unpleasant surprise for President Poroshenko.

Ukrainian lawyer Andrey Portnov writes about this on his Facebook page.
“I sincerely hope that today’s announcement by the Prosecutor General’s Office on the start of an investigation into the 2010 Kharkov agreements on the extension of the basing of the Black Sea Fleet in Crimea is not a conspiracy against the current President of Ukraine, who then publicly called them not only beneficial for Ukraine, but also a mastery of compromise,” he wrote yesterday Portnov.
In support of his words, he provided links to the relevant statements of Poroshenko, who at that time gave his assessment of the signed documents.
Thus, in an interview with Channel 5, which he owns, the future president said that the basic agreements on the Black Sea Fleet with Russia were irreversible and called the document “the art of compromise.”
Also, Petro Poroshenko, who later took the post of Minister of Economic Development and Trade in the government of Mykola Azarov, called the agreements on the fleet “mutually beneficial for both sides.”
At the same time, the petition of the Main Military Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine, noted in the decision of the Pechersk Court, was filed as part of a criminal case under articles of treason and abuse of power or official position.
