According to Putin, he made such an offer to Poroshenko during the latter’s presidency.

Putin announced this at a joint press conference after a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.
“When Mr. Poroshenko was still president of Ukraine, I told him that if he had any difficulties in the future, Russia was ready to grant him political asylum. He then ironically spoke a lot on this issue, but today I want to confirm my proposals, despite serious differences on the issue of settlement (of the conflict – UNIAN) in Donbas,” Putin said.
Putin believes that Poroshenko is being persecuted as a state criminal, and this, according to the President of the Russian Federation, is “an excessive bid for the success of the current leadership of the country.”
“We are ready to grant asylum to people like Mr. Poroshenko in Russia,” Putin emphasized once again.

Ukraine gives Poroshenko to Russia, and then there will be no invasion? Macron, fool!
Better send Zelensky and his corrupt gang to Russia!
Wth is this? Is Putin trying to help Zelensky or just create chaos as usual? We know Putin is scared of Poroshenko returning to be president.
So… putin’s barbaric brain is expecting us to confuse “asylum” for imprisonment? No, I’m not that stupid, thank you.
Good point.
Not saying that he would, but if Poroshenko would, then this would be a decisive victory for the mafia runt. Poroshenko should make a public announcement, and say something like, “Go and eat shit and die, motherfucker.”
