Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, who is under investigation for possible treason, has been allowed to leave Ukraine at a border crossing with Poland to attend a political meeting, local media and his allies said on Monday.
Poroshenko, who was previously stopped from leaving the country twice, was heading to a meeting of the European People's Party in Rotterdam, the newspaper Ukrayinska Pravda said, citing sources at law enforcement agencies.
Viktoria Siumar, a lawyer from Poroshenko's European Solidarity party, also confirmed in her Facebook post that the former president had left for the meeting abroad.
