Petro Poroshenko, leader of the "European Solidarity" party, is spearheading a legislative initiative that mandates personal accountability for National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) members voting on sanctions against Ukrainian individuals. This move ensures that damages from unlawful sanctions will not be compensated from the state budget. Since 2021, despite headlines about sanctioning actions, individuals typically evade these sanctions without investigations or court decisions against them. Simultaneously, Poroshenko actively contributes to Ukraine's defense by providing equipment, such as the Ai-Petri SV systems to military brigades, illustrating his dual focus on governance and national defense efforts.

What is the purpose of Poroshenko's draft law regarding NSDC members?

The draft law proposed by Petro Poroshenko focuses on holding NSDC members personally accountable for their votes on imposing sanctions against Ukrainian citizens. It emphasizes that damages from unlawful sanctions should not be reimbursed from the state budget, thereby ensuring that individuals responsible face personal culpability for their decisions.

What challenges have been present with imposing sanctions in Ukraine?

Despite numerous sanctions imposed since 2021, individuals have often managed to bypass these restrictions due to a lack of thorough investigations or judicial verdicts, rendering the sanctions less effective in achieving accountability or deterrence.

How has Petro Poroshenko contributed to Ukraine's military capabilities?

Petro Poroshenko has significantly contributed to enhancing Ukraine’s military capabilities by donating various equipment, such as electronic warfare systems like Ai-Petri SV, FPV drones, charging stations, and more to frontline combat brigades and battalions, demonstrating his commitment to national defense.

What has been President Zelenskyy's stance on sanctions against Poroshenko?

President Zelenskyy has commented on sanctions imposed by the NSDC against Petro Poroshenko, clarifying that they are not personal in nature. He emphasized that law enforcement agencies will provide explanations for the sanction impositions, focusing on the legality and rationale behind these actions.

What specific preparations has Poroshenko made for Ukrainian military units?

Poroshenko has prepared and delivered extensive batches of equipment to Ukrainian military units, including FPV drones, Ai-Petri SV systems, vehicles, and electronic warfare devices. These efforts are aimed at bolstering the operational capabilities and technological edge of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the front lines.

What financial policy changes has Poroshenko suggested for Ukraine?

Poroshenko has criticized the draft State Budget for 2025, suggesting a revision to focus on military needs without raising taxes. He advocates for reallocating untargeted spending and utilizing military tax revenues directly for defense needs, ensuring that funding effectively supports the Ukrainian Armed Forces and national security.

In what ways has Poroshenko been active in Ukrainian politics recently?

Poroshenko has actively been involved in legislative reforms, criticizing government budgets, and supporting military efforts. He has proposed laws for sanctions accountability, delivered vital defense equipment, and called for transparent financial policies. Additionally, Poroshenko emphasizes the importance of Ukraine's EU and NATO integration as part of the victory plan.
