Ukraine Says Gore to Visit

KIEV -- U.S. Vice President Al Gore is scheduled to visit Ukraine on Aug. 2 at the invitation of recently elected President Leonid Kuchma, the presidential administration said Wednesday.


Gore is scheduled to meet Kuchma during the one-day official working visit to discuss U.S.-Ukrainian cooperation.


Ukraine is the fourth-largest recipient of U.S. aid after Israel, Egypt and Russia, and this year is to receive $700 million.


Kuchma, who won a decisive victory over incumbent Leonid Kravchuk three weeks ago, met Gore in April during a private visit to Washington as a potential presidential candidate.


The one-day visit will come after a visit to Poland, where Gore wil meet Presisent Lech Walesa and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Warsaw uprising.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
