Comments about this “Segodnya” said the head of the parliamentary Committee on foreign Affairs Anna hopko.

“With Lagarde (head of IMF Christine Lagarde. – Ed.) will be meeting then with the new UN Secretary-General antónio Guterres to determine further steps of its chairmanship, and the fact that Ukraine in February will preside over the UN security Council a month (will discuss the agenda and preparations). Then there will be meetings with representatives of investment companies on attraction of investments in Ukraine, with different policies, the President’s speech during the Davos forum, with the innovators. In General, it is very good that the President is the Forum in Davos, because this is such a economic innovation platform for new technologies to meet with different leaders to discuss the agenda,” said “Segodnia” Anna hopko.

At the same time representatives of the government and the presidential Administration will not be on the so-called informal Ukrainian Breakfast at the world economic forum, which organizes the businessman Victor Pinchuk. “Even former Prime Minister, Yatsenyuk refused. It is obvious that this is correct, because when three weeks before this forum and so-called Breakfast Pinchuk in the influential American publication prints an article, which proposes a scenario of capitulation of Ukraine, in order to test public opinion, etc. Then now this article appears on the official website of the Munich security conference yesterday, it appeared there, then the question arises, who is behind this? What Russian or Pro-Russian forces are in Ukraine to push, forcing this script. It is therefore evident that high-ranking officials should not raise the status of the Ukrainian Breakfast, because it’s not an official event of Davos, is an initiative of the oligarch Pinchuk. So no need to were present the first persons of the state, the President and Vice-premiers”, – summed up Anna hopko.
