TL;DR Summary

Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko claims he was blocked from leaving the country, stating it was a politically motivated move to disrupt his work. Poroshenko, who is now an opposition lawmaker, had official permission to travel but was turned away at the border with Poland. The Ukrainian parliament's deputy speaker later confirmed that he had cancelled Poroshenko's permission to leave the country, citing a letter he received. Poroshenko accuses President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's administration of playing politics and hampering Ukraine's defense capabilities. The tensions between the government and opposition have been growing, while the war against Russian troops continues.
