A “pravosek” who is threatened with deportation for criticizing Poroshenko has been arrested in absentia in Russia.
The press secretary of the Right Sector, banned in the Russian Federation, Russian citizen Artem Skoropadsky, was arrested in absentia by court decision, the Investigative Committee reported.
In addition to Skoropadsky, the court made the same decision regarding PS militants Igor Chudinov and Georgy Stotsky.

The intrigue is that, contrary to the promises of Petro Poroshenko, the “right-seekers” from the Russian Federation never received Ukrainian citizenship. Obviously, this is due to the fact that the Right Sector allowed sharp public attacks against the President of Ukraine, accusing him of “betraying the ideals of the Maidan.”
In response, Oleg Medvedev, adviser to Poroshenko, repeatedly threatened Skoropadsky with deportation as a Russian citizen. This happened, for example, when the “Right Sector” tried to disrupt the gay pride parade in Kyiv, and Poroshenko’s radicals were accused of destabilizing the situation for Moscow’s benefit and “setting up” their Western partners.
Having learned about the court decision in Russia, Skoropadsky said that he still hopes to receive a Ukrainian passport.
“Maybe the Ukrainian authorities will finally understand that we all, participants in the Maidan and the Russian-Ukrainian war, still deserve citizenship of this country?” – so Skoropadsky himself.
