Fact of gross violation: lawyer Golovan published the court decision blocking Poroshenko’s foreign trips

Lawyer Ihor Golovan published on social media the Resolution of the Sixth Administrative Court of Appeal in the case of the lawsuit of the fifth president and current people’s deputy Petro Poroshenko against the Cabinet of Ministers regarding the illegal ban on border crossing.

In particular, the Sixth Administrative Court of Appeal declared the Cabinet of Ministers’ resolution, which restricted the right of people’s deputies and other citizens to travel abroad, unlawful and invalid.

As Ihor Golovan reported, the decision was made on November 3, 2025, at the request of Petro Poroshenko, who was previously prevented from leaving the country, referring to this government act.

“It would seem that everything is simple. According to Article 34 of the Constitution of Ukraine, everyone who is legally present on the territory of Ukraine is guaranteed freedom of movement, free choice of place of residence, the right to freely leave the territory of Ukraine, with the exception of restrictions established by law. By law, not by bureaucratic whims,” the lawyer reminded.

He also noted that the European Commission’s report on enlargement policy had been published. This document explicitly stated that “certain opposition parliamentarians continue to be subject to restrictions, in particular with regard to foreign travel,” and stressed the importance of respecting the rights of the opposition for the sustainability of democracy.

During the court hearing, government representatives tried to justify their actions with a decision of the National Security and Defense Council, however, as the lawyer noted, no such decision can justify a violation of the Constitution.

Ihor Golovan added that the court also ordered the Cabinet of Ministers to reimburse Petro Poroshenko 2,684 hryvnias in court fees.
