This was reported by the Poroshenko administration; it is especially emphasized that this meeting will take place before Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin.
“An agreement (on a meeting between the presidents of Ukraine and the United States - Ed.) has been reached. The presidents will meet in Washington next week,” the source said.
At the same time, even political journalists in Kyiv are at a loss and wondering why Trump needed to meet with Poroshenko right now.
“Well, Poroshenko is supposed to meet with Trump next week. The real question is, why does Washington need this meeting today? Use it for internal struggle against Trump accusers? Or has an understanding emerged of what to do with Donbass? Or was it just that the PAP was the first to congratulate Trump on his birthday today and was invited to celebrate?” Vladimir Poluev, a well-known Kiev journalist, presenter of Channel 112 and the Voice of the Capital radio, reflects on his social network page.
