President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa has arrived in Ukraine for a two-day visit.

CNN Portugal informs about it.

The head of the Portuguese Republic disembarked at the railway station in Kyiv accompanied by the country's Minister of Foreign Affairs João Gomes Cravinho and other officials, as well as historian José Pacheco Pereira and businessman Luís Delgado. This is his first visit to Ukraine.

"The goal is multifaceted. Firstly, to continue Portuguese presence. The Prime Minister was here, the Speaker of the Assembly was here, the Minister of Foreign Affairs has been here several times, and now the President has come. Portugal demonstrates its solidarity in all areas," Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa said upon arrival.

The head of state added that "everything that is fundamental, and everything is fundamental now in the life of Ukraine, is also fundamental in the life of Portugal."

He also announced that he would participate in the ceremonies on the occasion of the 32nd anniversary of Ukraine's independence on Thursday, considering that "this year is even more special" as representatives of other countries are joining the celebrations, and also due to the ongoing Ukrainian counteroffensive, which is "confirmation of its sovereignty."

Later, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa visited Bucha, where he honored the memory of the fallen.
