“Servants of the People” were unable to fly to the United States due to visa problems. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs tried to help, but changed its mind.
Several parliamentary deputies from “Servants of the People” could not fly to the United States because of problems with American visas. The Babbel publication reports this.
The delegation of Ukrainian lawmakers from the association called “Clean Energy — Healthy Environment” was invited to visit the United States by the International Republican Institute, as well as the House Democracy Partnership. In America, the deputies were to discuss the construction of the Nord Stream-2 pipeline, green energy, and related issues.
The association consists of 25 deputies of the parliament from all factions, its head is the deputy from “European Solidarity” Alexei Honcharenko.
In order to obtain a diplomatic visa of category A1, the deputies needed to receive a diplomatic note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which, a day before departure, canceled this note without explaining its decision.
Ultimately, only deputies Alexei Honcharenko, Vladimir Kabachenko, and Geo Lerose went to the United States, and they hold a B1/B2 visa (for visiting relatives, recreation, business, or medical treatment).
It is clarified that the “Servants” Artem Kunayev, Anatoliy Drabovsky, Maksim Pashkovsky, as well as a representative of “Voice” Yulia Klymenko did not fly to the States. Journalists’ information suggests that the MFA did not explain the reason for the visa cancellations.
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has not yet responded to Babbel journalists regarding the situation.
