This Friday, the President of the Republic is participating in a dinner with Ukrainian refugees at the Shkola Hotel in Lisbon, on the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
When asked when he plans to visit Kyiv, Marcelo Rebelo de Souza replied that “it will probably happen in the summer.” “The ambassador is due to arrive in April, not in March, but in April, and from then on I intend to start preparing for a date that I think could have been last year, but then this did not happen due to international obligations. , but maybe this year too,” he admitted.
On the sidelines of the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine, the President of the Republic referred to the fact that “Russia has failed in its goal of a possible coup d’état” and “in the idea of an invasion that could reach Kyiv.”
This Friday marks one year since the start of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, which plunged Europe into the worst security crisis since World War II (1939-1945).
