The European People's Party (EPP) has expressed concern over the political persecution of former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.

“EPP is very concerned by political cases against former President Poroshenko. The charges should not resemble politically motivated persecution, nor be politically motivated against select political opponents,” EPP President Donald Tusk posted on Twitter.

Tusk also added that the EPP supported the continuation of reforms and called on Ukraine not to miss its chance.

“Ukraine should not miss its chance to commit to its reform agenda. The EPP will support Ukraine on this path,” Tusk emphasized.

The EPP continues to be the largest political group in the European Parliament.

In particular, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz are members of the EPP.

Earlier, the leading members of the European Parliament who take care of Ukraine, as well as former Poland’s President Aleksander Kwaśniewski, had already warned against political persecution of Poroshenko.
