The Security Service of Ukraine has summoned former Interior Minister Arsen Avakov, former Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksandr Turchynov, and former Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk for questioning in the case against former President Petro Poroshenko and Verkhovna Rada deputy Viktor Medvedchuk.

That follows from the information posted on the website of the SSU.

They were summoned for May 19.

All of them were called for questioning as a witness.

The SSU could not tell Ukrainian News whether Avakov, Yatsenyuk and Turchynov came for interrogation and whether investigative actions were carried out with them on May 19.

As Ukrainian News Agency reported, Rada deputy Medvedchuk testified against Poroshenko.

He claims that ICU founder Makar Paseniuk, ex-deputy of the Rada from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc Ihor Kononenko, ex-head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Hrytsak, ex-head of the NBU Valeriya Hontareva, and ex-Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Volodymyr Demchyshyn are accomplices of Poroshenko's crimes.

He said he helped Poroshenko buy the Samara-Western Direction pipeline from Russia for USD 23 million.

Medvedchuk told how Poroshenko organized a scheme for buying coal from occupied Donbas territories for cash.
