Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has stated Ukraine needs support of international organizations to establish a trust fund to return to Donbas to civilian life.

"Russia's aggression had very serious humanitarian consequences for Ukraine," Poroshenko said, when speaking at the UN World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul.

He noted "Russia has violated the rules of international humanitarian law," and Ukraine insists on the need for the UN Security Council's response to these violations.

In addition, the president noted Ukraine "needs cooperation with international organizations, which will contribute to the creation of a trust fund to return Donbas to civilian life."

"Ukraine is committed to protecting civilians and facilitating provision of quick relief to those who suffer ... We pledge to work on improving protection of internally displaced persons... Ukraine also wants to work with international organizations to set up a trust fund to restore peace in Donbas," Poroshenko said.

The president noted Ukraine supports the question of convening a separate forum next year under the auspices of the UN for a more efficient operation of international and regional organizations to prevent and resolve conflicts.
