Our conversation with the US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson lasted an hour, which exceeds the format of the meetings in Davos. In particular, we today have agreed to resume strategic partnership Commission. And in March, the Commission held. Will be formed a few groups where we will discuss, including further reforms. We really need it. We have also planned and agreed on a possible draft resolution on the peacekeepers in the Donbas with the key characteristics that should contain this resolution. We received the full support of the US, other partners on the UN security Council. Of course, we also insist that continued discussion on the release of other Ukrainian hostages and the release of political prisoners in prisons in Russia. Grateful to the US for its policy of sanctions, which are introduced by U.S. partners against Russian residents. It is important for us to have this mechanism of influence to bring Russia back to the negotiating table and provide the de-occupation of the Donbass and the liberation of the Crimea.
