“Poroshenko did not come for interrogation on Friday,” Interfax-Ukraine quotes the press secretary of the GBR Anzhelika Ivanov.

According to her, we are talking about a criminal proceeding, which concerns “the possible commission of a criminal offense by officials during the passage of naval ships through the Kerch Strait in November 2018.”

The department emphasized that the politician was notified in advance of the date and time of the event.

At the same time, according to the agency, the lawyer Igor Golovan handed a document to the GDB, which indicates that Poroshenko is abroad and will not be able to come.

Poroshenko said earlier that investigators of the State Security Bureau asked him about the Ukrainian military who violated the Russian border.
