A Kyiv court on Thursday ordered the assets and property of Ukraine’s former leader Petro Poroshenko seized as part of a treason investigation, the prosecutor general’s office said.

Poroshenko, 56, is accused of helping pro-Russian separatists, who control parts of two of the ex-Soviet country’s eastern regions, sell coal to the Ukrainian capital.

Poroshenko, who is currently abroad and has vowed to return to Ukraine on January 17, has not yet commented on the court’s decision. Ahead of the court’s decision Thursday, Poroshenko wrote on Facebook that he “will return to Kyiv” to appear in front of a judge “not to defend myself against Zelensky, but to defend Ukraine from incompetent leadership.”

Zelensky has pledged to root out corruption and investigate officials from the previous administration.
