On August 31 - September 1, 2018, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko will make a private visit to the United States of America to attend a farewell ceremony for U.S. Senator John McCain.
"On behalf of the people of Ukraine and on my own, I intend to pay tribute to the outstanding personality, the great friend of Ukraine. The invincibility of his spirit motivates. His sense of historical moment is impressive. His vision of the future inspires," the Head of State noted before departing to Washington.
"In the memory of Ukrainians, Senator McCain will forever remain a close friend who stood side by side in defense of democracy at the Kyiv Maidan and a loyal brother in arms who shared a New Year's dinner with Ukrainian soldiers on the line of combat clashes. His faith in the Ukrainian people cannot be overestimated, as well as the contribution to the deterrence of the Russian aggressor. John McCain's credible voice will forever remain one of the loudest in support of an independent, democratic and prosperous Ukraine," the President said.
The visit is private, so Petro Poroshenko will travel to Washington by airliner.
