He added that no final decisions are yet to speak since the format of participation in the General Assembly also provides an opportunity to speak online.
The top diplomat added that it is important for the Ukrainian president that each of his visits is meaningful and effective.
"Therefore, we will decide whether it will be a physical visit to the General Assembly or it will be the president's online participation in the UN General Assembly," Kuleba said.
