First Deputy Speaker Oleksandr Kornienko says he canceled the international business trip of People's Deputy and 5th President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko after receiving a letter marked "For official use only", the content of which he cannot disclose. Kornienko said this in a commentary to a national news telethon.


"He (Poroshenko - ed.) indicated that the main reason was participation in a non-parliamentary event, a party forum of the International Democratic Union, a community that probably includes "European Solidarity". He wrote that there would be some other high-level meetings in parallel. According to our internal principles, participation in party events is allowed, but when we received a letter from the "For official use only", which I cannot comment on, we were forced to cancel this business trip," Kornienko said.
