Poroshenko says Mogherini Trilateral Contact Group will hopefully meet as soon as possible

Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko has thanked High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini for her efforts on convening an extraordinary session of the EU Council on Foreign Affairs, at which the situation in Ukraine and the EU's reaction to the terrorist attack in Mariupol will be considered.

During a phone conversation with Poroshenko, Mogherini expressed hope that the EU Council, at the level of Foreign Ministers, would make a constructive and consensual decision.

The Ukrainian head of state has emphasized that Ukraine remains committed to the peaceful resolution of the situation in the Donbas, and insisted on the fulfillment of the Minsk agreements by all parties. He has also expressed hope that a meeting of the Trilateral Contact Group would take place shortly to facilitate further dialogue at the highest level.

Both parties have agreed to continue the close coordination of efforts in order to respond to the threat of terrorism, and to promote a comprehensive peaceful resolution of the situation in the Donbas.
