Visit of Petro Poroshenko to Washington is postponed

Ukraine is interested in substantive visit, not a “visit for a visit”.

Meeting of President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and U.S. President Donald trump did not take place until now because of internal problems in the White house. This was stated in interview to “Today,” the Deputy head of the presidential Administration Konstantin Eliseev.

“Indeed, we offered dates in late February. But, as you know, at that time there were some difficult HR processes in the new Administration. At that time, unfortunately, was not yet occupied key positions in the new us Administration, state Department, national security Council. So there are some objective reasons for the lack of specific dates,” – said Elisha.

He added that the Ukrainian side is interested in substantive visit, not a “visit for a visit”.

“Therefore, apart from the date, we would like to form a concrete agenda in order to reach certain agreements. In the near future we plan to continue contacts at the highest level for the harmonization of such agreements”, – said Elisha.

He assured that the summit will take place as soon as two parties agree on the agenda and content for future meetings.
“Of course we would like it to happen as quickly as possible,” – said Elisha.
