This was reported on the official page on the social network by Poroshenko’s press secretary Svyatoslav Tsegolko.
“The President awarded Senator John McCain the Order of Freedom and the Order of Yaroslav the Wise - Senator Lindsey Graham for his significant personal contribution to strengthening relations between Ukraine and the United States of America. Two great friends of Ukraine. It’s always nice to see them,” Tsegolko wrote.
It is reported that the senators interrupted the Christmas holidays and flew to Kyiv specifically to receive well-deserved awards personally from the hands of the Ukrainian president.
It can be assumed that by rewarding Republican McCain, Poroshenko seeks to make amends for his losing bet on Democratic representative Hillary Clinton and build bridges with the anti-Russian lobby surrounded by Donald Trump.
