The Russian proxy “Donetsk people’s republic” has placed Ukraine’s former President Petro Poroshenko on its ‘wanted list’, accusing him of involvement in the killing in October 2016 of notorious Russian mercenary Arseny Pavlov (‘Motorola’). Such ‘charges’ need not give Poroshenko any sleepless nights, however, the announcement on March 25 coincided with a reminder of no less extraordinary charges brought against the ex-President by Ukraine’s State Bureau of Investigations (DBR in Ukrainian). The reminder came in an interview given by former Prosecutor General Ruslan Riaboshapka who many believe was replaced because he refused to sign an indictment against Poroshenko.
