On 16 June 2022, Klaus Werner Iohannis, President of Romania (EU, NATO), Emmanuel Macron, President of the Republic of France (EU, NATO), Olaf Scholz, Chancellor of the Republic of Germany (EU, NATO), and Mario Draghi, Prime Minister of Italy (EU, NATO), visited Kyiv, Ukraine. Each official traveled by train to and from Ukraine.
The delegation used Day Rooms at the 272-room, 11-floor InterContinental Hotel Kyiv managed by London, United Kingdom-based InterContinental Hotels Group PLC.
