By KYIV. Dec 4 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The European Solidarity party accused the State Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) of disseminating a false report about an allegedly planned meeting between the leader of a political force, MP Petro Poroshenko and the Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orbán, which caused the cancellation of his business trip to the United States and Poland.
“The authorities’ attempts to justify the actual disruption of the visit of opposition leader Petro Poroshenko to Washington with counterintelligence information from the SBU about the likely meeting of the fifth President of Ukraine with Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orbán and the theoretical use of the conversation by the Russian special services are frankly surprising,” the party said.
From December 1 to December 8, Petro Poroshenko had planned visits to only two countries: Poland and the United States. Unfortunately, the Security Service of Ukraine disseminated a false report that the cancellation of the order signed by the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada on a business trip and travel ban for Poroshenko on December 1 was connected with the meeting with Orbán,” the European Solidarity press service said on the party’s website on Saturday, December 2.
The party’s press service said the United States also did not release all the deputies of European Solidarity who received an invitation to the Forum of the International Democratic Union, as well as to meetings in the Pentagon, Congress, and the U.S. State Department.
