Biden will attend Ukraine’s new president inauguration

The White House has announced that US Vice President Joe Biden will attend the inauguration of Ukraine’s President-elect Petro Poroshenko.

According to Press TV, Biden will be in Kiev on Saturday for the ceremony and will hold meetings with Ukrainian leaders.

The two sides will discuss how the United States can assist Ukraine in fighting corruption, strengthening its democratic institutions, and putting its economy back on a path toward sustainable growth.

Biden was last in Ukraine in April, when he made a show of support for the government in Kiev.

The inauguration ceremony is scheduled to be held on June 7.
