Yanukovich Lost Presidential Powers 2 Days After Leaving Kiev, Wasn’t Poroshenko’s Vacation Longer?


This is 60 minutes, with the most relevant news.
We're going to Ukraine, with all its passion, heat, and traditions. Now, in a nutshell, 4 years ago, during the nightmare in Kiev, Yanukovich left Kiev. In 2 days, he was stripped of his powers. Suddenly, they thought of a story in today's court. Sorry, but Poroshenko left for the Maldives in the winter. He was absent from the country without warning anyone for a longer time, and nothing happened. Let's see how the events transpired, this question was left without an answer.
- Dear witness, when you were away on your winter vacation, and nobody knew where you were for a week, why were there no measures taken about your self-resignation?
- Petr Alekseevich, I apologize, I was probably right. The defenders ask questions that have nothing to do with this case. They don't want your statement. I must now stop your interrogation, and thank you for your responsible response to being served last week. And again, thank you for being in court today, best wishes.
- Have you ever seen a judge apologizing to the witness? That's our first issue. The judge actually apologized to Poroshenko. That was firstly. Secondly, there was no ground for Yanukovich's suspension. This became clear in court today. This was a tiny example, with many just like it.
- Zhenya, is this the first time you hear about this unlawful suspension? We have Ukraine's Constitution. Correct e if I'm wrong, but it says there are 3 reasons to strip the President of their powers. They are his death, his voluntary resignation, and impeachment. I may be wrong, but there are no other reasons. Everything else is beyond the Constitution. Even kindergаrtners know this. Therefore, everything we see is Ukrainian justice.
Gordey Belov, public person, Ukraine: On the other hand, court is one thing, but this question really was irrelevant. And even if it were relevant, our President's vacation overseas…
- The President's final vacation overseas.
- Maybe it wasn't politically correct, but he was a wealthy person even before he became the President.
- And how wealthy he became after becoming the President... Forbes will tell you everything.
