On June 10, 2020, supporters of the ex-president and head of the European Solidarity Party Petro Poroshenko staged a protest against the interrogation of their leader on the “case of paintings” and brought to the venue collages of the world-famous religious paintings depicting President Vladimir Zelensky and Prosecutor General Irina Venediktova. This was reported by the "Vesti" telegram channel. 

In particular, these collages portray officers of the State Bureau of Investigations against the backdrop of "The Last Supper" by Leonardo da Vinci, which was called "The Last Supper in the SBI", while President Vladimir Zelensky was depicted as Jesus Christ in a painting dedicated to the Nativity of Christ – the blasphemous collage was called "Creation of the President”.

Recall, on June 10, the State Bureau of Investigations summoned Petro Poroshenko for questioning in a case on smuggling the world-famous paintings. The SBI suspects him of illegally transporting over four dozen works of art across the customs border.

As reported by the UOJ, earlier experts explained why the recordings of conversations of former President Poroshenko with Joe Biden will not affect the OCU, and whether there is a link between the scandals surrounding Poroshenko and the Head of Phanar.
