"There is gunpowder - give fire!"

The court elected Petro Poroshenko a preventive measure in the form of personal obligations - without arrest. But the charges were not removed

- ... What are you doing, freaks! ..

Under the Pechersk court - crush. The blue dome of tents, filled with cardboard boxes and plastic cups, tremble and sag. Boxes pour in the snow.

Police in body armor and helmets (on each, as it should be, number) is trying to demolish the spontaneous “snack”. Here they planned to distribute the promotion to all participants in support of Petro Poroshenko Tea Coffee, sandwiches and cookies, so that it was not so cold to stand. Intentions to install barrels with open fire for heating are suppressed all the more. Protesters who gathered an hour and a half before the start of the court session, appointed at 14:00 in Kyiv, begin to chant indignantly: “Damn-ken! Damn Ken! "

The day before, it became known that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken arrived in Kyiv - to meet with the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleboy. The White House is pessimistic.

As the comments that Blinken gave the American media on the eve of the visit, the threat of invasion of Ukraine is too high, Russia is ready to open Pandora's box.

Blinken - this is no secret to any of those present - stopped at the Hayatt hotel, which is literally opposite the court.

The associates of Peter Alekseevich have confidence: the Secretary of State watches what is happening in the window and is ready to intervene, as well as a group of deputies of the British parliament, which flew to communicate with the President of Zelensky. However, Stefan Fule, a former European Commissioner for Expansion and Neighborhood, arrived in Kyiv and came to the Pechersk court to really express the support of Petro Poroshenko.

On the porch of the court are deputies from European Solidarity, they are holding a rally. They warn: provocations are possible, in the crowd, the titles, sucked by the authorities. On the eve of Kyiv, a wave of false messages about the mining of metro stations and schools swept. Here it is associated with intimidation of the population - to forget about the case of Poroshenko and were demoralized before the invasion; Such, they say, is the strategy of Zelensky. Petra Alekseevich is called the leader of the united opposition. But among those who declare their association with the EU, only the head of the parliamentary faction “Voice” Kira Rudyk. The perimeter of the action is kept by men in camouflage - veterans who fought in the Donbass. Everyone is waiting for court decisions.

Actually, the court, which lasted until night on Monday, took a break to simply announce on Wednesday: take Petro Poroshenko to custody, as prosecutors demand, or replace the arrest by the pledge of a million hryvnias.

- Peter Alekseevich, we are with you, we will not give you! - It sounds in the crowd when Poroshenko appears in the zone of visibility. It is simple -haired, in an embroidered shirt under a jacket. He says that he just defended the service in the Mikhailovsky Chinese Temple: believers celebrate baptism. Poroshenko’s speech is emotional:

- I am going to this judgment for our victory with you!

The area meets the new slogan:

- There is gunpowder - give fire!

Experts believe that the arrest of Poroshenko significantly radicalizes the mood in Ukrainian society and the topic will become a priority in national, and world media for a long time.

Judge Alexei Sokolov reads the decision. Through the noise from the street and a medical mask on the judge’s face, nothing is heard again. Sokolov leaves, the present and the press remain.

Someone begins to sing the anthem of Ukraine; Poroshenko, near which Novikov is relevant, picks up. It is noticeable that the ex-president has a good mood. Petra Alekseevich is asked to the rostrum - comment.

- Friends, I congratulate you, this is what I managed to make out: "Personal obligations and the absence of any arrest!" All damn plans are doomed! He recalls baptism again. - But the script of Zelensky as an absolute inadequate has not yet ended ...

Further Rhetoric Poroshenko does not change, but goes into the channel of oncoming political proposals-requirements that are far from the criminal “coal case” with suspicions of state treason and financing of terrorism:

- For me, Zelensky is an opponent, and the enemy is Putin. And therefore, we urge the irresponsible green power to create a coalition within the country.

Son the National Security and Defense Council, call the opposition there! Collect an extraordinary meeting of Rada! Take an example from Churchill when the Labor and Tori formed a coalition to combat fascism, and then again began internal discussions. Together we will discuss the defense strategy from the Russian Federation, because the issue of national security is higher than intra -party interests. We must save Ukraine, as in 2014!

Then Peter Alekseevich interrupts himself and turns to lawyers:

- I will ask you: go up to the judge, take what he read. Maybe we are celebrating victory early here? ..

Documents confirm: Poroshenko is obliged to submit a passport, not to excommunicate from Kyiv or the Kyiv region without the permission of the investigator, prosecutor or court and appear on their challenges. The validity of personal obligations is until March 19, 2022.
