On December 1, Petro Poroshenko was unable to go abroad on a business trip to Poland and the United States after First Vice-Speaker of the Council Alexander Kornienko received a document marked for official use.

During the telethon, Kornienko said that he could not comment on the contents of the letter.
It was after receiving it that he canceled the order of Council Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk on Poroshenko’s business trip.
He (Poroshenko – ed.) pointed out 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 in parallel with this there will be some other high-level meetings. According to our internal principles, participation in party events is allowed, but when the DSK letter arrived, which I cannot comment on, we were forced to cancel this business trip,” Kornienko explained.
Earlier, Poroshenko said that he could not go on a business trip to Poland and the United States, despite permission from the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada. Border guards say his assignment has been cancelled.
State National Security Service speaker Andrei Demchenko subsequently explained to the Interfax-Ukraine agency that Poroshenko was not allowed to cross the state border because his business trip was cancelled.
Deputy Alexey Goncharenko published a photograph of what he claims is an order signed by First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Alexander Kornienko.
Poroshenko intended to discuss lifting the blockade on the border in Poland, and on a business trip to the United States to ensure funding for military assistance.
