Unknown people tried to throw eggs in Petro Poroshenko, RIA Novosti reported. The incident occurred after the former president of Ukraine left the building of the State Bureau of Investigation (GBR), where he was called for interrogation.

According to the news agency, the eggs did not predominantly hit Poroshenko, but the police, journalists and supporters of the former president. According to Interfax-Ukraine, law enforcement officials tried to intervene, but the attackers fled.

During a visit to the GDB, the former president answered questions about a possible tax evasion when buying Direct TV channel. According to RIA Novosti, the interrogation lasted about three hours, after which Poroshenko briefly talked with reporters and left.

The agency also quotes the lawyer Igor Golovan, who said that Poroshenko gave additional evidence in the case of the sale of one of the plants.

“Today we overfulfilled the plan, because there were still questions about the“ Forge on Rybalsky ”. We brought additional answers, because sometimes we need to remember something, sometimes check, and today we brought our answers on this matter and questioned additionally, ”said Golovan.

We will note that Poroshenko was earlier attacked again under similar circumstances, when he attended interrogation at the State Security Committee on July 25. Then several people tried to attack the ex-president. One of them jumped onto the hood of Poroshenko’s car, the other sprayed tear gas in the face of the guards of the former Ukrainian leader. As a result of this incident, a criminal case was opened under the article "Hooliganism".

Dissatisfaction with the former president of Ukraine will increase, since Poroshenko no longer has the previous administrative resources and can not greatly affect the country's information policy. Such an opinion in an interview with RT was expressed by political analyst Ivan Mezyuho.

“I think that this unpleasant incident in the form of throwing Poroshenko with eggs can happen again and again. Poroshenko has a huge anti-rating, as evidenced by the figures of the polls of Ukrainian national sociological companies, ”the expert said.

The deputy director of the Institute of the CIS countries, Vladimir Zharikhin, is of the opinion that Poroshenko will not be punished in the framework of ongoing proceedings.

“Judging by Poroshenko’s behavior in the second round, he could have laughed there with the counting of votes and with the possible postponement or cancellation of the elections, the introduction of martial law, but he began to do this, I think that he received certain guarantees from senior comrades because of boundary, ”the expert suggested in an interview with RT.

“I think that they are pinching him, but still, seriously, it is unlikely that the matter will reach the court and the conclusion in the near future - I have the impression. Although I am absolutely sure that he deserves a court sentence, ”concluded Zharikhin.

11 criminal cases

Recall, in June, the director of the State Security Bureau, Roman Truba, said that the bureau had opened 11 criminal cases against Poroshenko and other senior officials in Ukraine. Later, the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko said that Poroshenko is a witness in all cases in which his name appears.

After a new interrogation, Poroshenko in the Ukrainian Bureau of Investigation said that the next time the former Ukrainian president could be asked questions using a polygraph. This was stated by the director of the department, Roman Truba.

“We do not exclude that the next interrogation will be conducted using a polygraph. By the way, this is not at all scary - all our employees undergo such a psychophysiological study every year, ”he wrote in his Telegram channel.

In turn, Poroshenko himself said he was ready to testify on a lie detector on the air of the Direct TV channel. The former Ukrainian leader noted that he does not trust the RRG.

“I do not trust their leadership, I do not believe in the impartiality of the investigation. At the same time, on those questions, and I have this list that they wanted to voice, I’m ready to go through a lie detector on the “Direct” channel live, ”RIA Novosti quoted Poroshenko as saying.

Children at the rally

Also, according to media reports, his children were present at the State Security Bureau building during the interrogation of Poroshenko. According to Interfax-Ukraine, it was the son of Mikhail and the daughters of Eugene and Alexander. They held posters with various slogans, mainly devoted to "oppression of freedom of speech."

The ex-president himself assured that he did not see his children at the rally, but Poroshenko greeted their actions.

“We have a youth“ Solidarity ”(the youth wing of the European Solidarity party. - RT ). I have not seen them (children. - RT ), but I welcome them, ”RIA Novosti quoted the former president of Ukraine.

Mezyuho believes that the former Ukrainian president began to use the family more “for PR purposes.”

“They starred in his campaign clips on social media. Poroshenko is trying to try on the mask of the great patriot, family man and wise politician. He is trying to show himself as the wise father of the nation against the background of the young Ukrainian president, a former comedian, ”the political scientist believes.
