The daughters of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Oleksandra and Yevhenia, will go to school in London and will return to Ukraine after they have received their education," the president's wife Maryna told the Kyiv-based Interfax-Ukraine news agency.

"The girls have matriculated to University of the Arts London and University College London, specializing in animation and economics. We supported their decision to independently choose a profession – without using privileges – because they are daughters of Ukraine's president," Maryna Poroshenko said.

Ukraine's first lady said both successfully passed their examinations and received high grades.

"We are proud of them as parents. I want to emphasize that after receiving their education they intend to return to Ukraine and work for the good of the Ukrainian people," Maryna Poroshenko's press service said, citing her.
