The questions against which objected to the prosecutors and rejected the judge concerned the interpretation of the Constitution and laws of Ukraine, in particular concerning the grounds for termination of powers of the President how long the President should be absent in the country, so it could be called disengagement, and the like.
The judge rejected about ten questions by the defense, after which Poroshenko still took the floor and commented on them thus:
“I stress that the right of interpretation of laws has not the President, not the defense and not the Prosecutor, and constitutional court only. If you believe that your rights have been violated, contact as citizens, and the new constitutional court will review your appeal. Or MPs can turn to. This is not the competence of the President. I will not break the law and to interpret, because it is not within the powers of presidident”.

– At the time of the events I was familiar with Viktor Yanukovych. I had different relationships with Yanukovych.
– February 27, 2014 in the office of the head of the Verkhovna Rada Oleksandr Turchynov I made a proposal to immediately give me instructions to hold talks with deputies of the Supreme Council of Crimea in order to stop the destructive process that began with an attempt to make the illegal referendum.

– I made a statement, whose meaning lies in the fact that Crimea is Ukrainian, we must do everything in order not to allow provocations. We are ready to establish a working group of deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and Parliament of the Crimea to decide all questions that may be on the agenda of the day.

Then I headed down another street to his car. I was surrounded by dozens or hundreds of people, some of them were provocature who tried to pressure, threaten. But the part was on my behalf. I believe that was a threat to my life. And I am grateful to those people who protected me. Also there were a few policemen who tried to honestly perform their duties.

– At the result of coordinated actions preserved the integrity of Ukraine, did not give the Pro-Russian separatist Sabbath to kindle a flame in Kharkiv. Unfortunately, there was a tragedy in Odessa.
– I am convinced that no Declaration of the referendum in Crimea did not happen. These manipulations with dates – first may 25, then March 16 – testified to the haste and illegality of Russia’s actions.
The coordination of these steps together with the decision of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin on the use of armed forces outside Russia, an appeal to the Federation Council the approval of the Russian Parliament to use armed forces and a very hasty decision, which was accepted by the Russian Federation Council, is evidence of well-coordinated actions of the Russian Parliament, the Russian President, as well as military personnel and mercenaries, who stayed in Crimea to ensure the illegal annexation. I want to emphasize that victims among Crimean Tatars and Ukrainian soldiers confirm this illegality.

– From the point of view of international law Russia had no right to act the way she demonstrated, starting from 20 February 2014. Allow me to disagree with the position that the Russian Federation was recognized as an aggressor only in 2016. If you examine the UN resolution in March 2014, there has been strongly condemned the annexation of Crimea.
– This is a litmus issue for every Ukrainian citizen and the politics of the world, which he must answer: Crimea or Ukrainian “Crimea is ours”, as claimed by the Russians (and not all)? Ukraine conflict civil war or the fact of Russian aggression? Thousands of victims among soldiers and the civilian population are the result of aggression or the civil war? If your answer is “the Russian Crimea, in Ukraine civil war”, it is a hybrid war, some of the information that Russia was trying to spread in the world and was defeated. We all know about this, ranging from accusations of funding terrorism and ending the violation of human rights, a violation of the Convention on racial discrimination.

– I believe that this question is not only political and security but also purely legal. Including the process that is happening today is of great importance not only for Ukraine. This was one of the important factors on why I decided to take part in it.
– I do not know about the decision to lie about the termination of powers of the President. I don’t know about it and not informed. I like the people’s Deputy of Ukraine he took part in the voting of the relevant resolution lie. There it was stated: in connection with the disengagement of President Yanukovych to impose the duties of the President the head of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov. If you are asking about termination of powers of President Yanukovych – not that I know of.

– The basis for the assignment of duties of President to the head of BP was the absence of the President and the loss of the country’s leadership in the beginning of the Russian aggression in Crimea. In my opinion, there was enough reason to press the button “for”.
The resolution did not stop the powers of Yanukovych. My motivation for voting for the resolution was that he disappeared no communication with him, no one knows where he is or Simferopol, or Anapa, or in Rostov, and this time against our country carried out aggression. From the people’s deputies and the Verkhovna Rada that would be negligence and irresponsibility if we do not react to the challenges that appeared before us at the time. Do not create the impression that someone is avoiding your questions (to the defence – ed.). They simply do not address.

– I am not a signatory to this agreement (between Yanukovych and the opposition to resolve the political crisis under the guarantee of representatives of several European countries on 21 February 2014 – ed.). I was not present during its signing. Its meaning became known to me after the publication of the agreement.
– I can’t help but respond to your statement when you claim that the reason for the takeover of Crimea illegal annexation was the opinion of Crimeans (after Yanukovych’s flight from the country – ed.). Go back again to the explicit definitions of events which are recognized by the world and denied only by the Russian Federation. I am sure that today no one doubts the illegality of aggression, annexation of Crimea, aggression in the East. The reason is just an attempt as an element of a hybrid war with Russia to ensure a campaign that whitens the aggression of the Russian Federation.
