“I expect between the US and the EU closely cooperate regarding the establishment of a UN peacekeeping mission. And better coordination of sanctions. They are an important lever to bring Russia to the negotiating table and the implementation of the Minsk process,” – said the Ukrainian President.

According to him, the peace process required a breakthrough that could provide a peacekeeping mission.

“This could be a peacekeeping mission, which would bring the necessary security and the holding of free and fair elections in the East of Ukraine”, – said Poroshenko.

“And, please, Russia, we do not require anything wrong, just go back to the civilized world and withdraw your troops,” – said the Ukrainian President.
