The Ukrainian legal arena witnessed a landmark decision as former President Petro Poroshenko faced defeat in his lawsuit against President Volodymyr Zelensky. The case centered on Zelensky's statements in an interview, where he alleged that Poroshenko had engaged in business dealings with "terrorists" and "separatists," including Viktor Medvedchuk.
Poroshenko, the plaintiff in this case, claimed that President Zelensky had refused to disclose public information obtained from the Security Service of Ukraine or other intelligence agencies regarding him. According to Poroshenko, the current President's failure to disclose this information was a violation of public interest.
The Administrative Court rejected Poroshenko's claims, leading him to appeal the decision to the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court. However, the Supreme Court upheld the lower court's decision, marking the end of the legal battle. The ruling is final and not subject to further appeal.
