Reuters: Ukraine accuses former president Poroshenko of treason
Ukrainian authorities placed former president Petro Poroshenko under formal investigation for high treason on Monday, accusing him of links to financing separatist forces in the eastern Donbass region.
Officials said the accusations against Poroshenko were related to similar charges against pro-Russian lawmaker Viktor Medvedchuk, who has been under house arrest for about six months.
Medvedchuk's and Poroshenko's political parties denied wrongdoing.
Oleksander Turchynov, a senior official in Poroshenko's European Solidarity party, said in a statement the accusation was fabricated on the instruction of President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and it would "turn into a farce just like all the previous ones".

Zelenskiy should pay attention. This is coming for him next. The Banderite nazis won't accept anything short of total capitulation of the east.
