WARSAW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 17th January, 2022) Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has arrived at the Warsaw Chopin Airport and is waiting for his flight to Kiev, where he will face trial on treason charges, a Sputnik correspondent reports.

Poroshenko is expected to fly out to the Ukrainian capital at 06:40 local time on Monday (05:40 GMT).
