We had specific timeframe for developing our cooperation, including in the military-technical sphere, including [arms] supplies, including and not only, and not so much of, the kind of weapon being constantly discussed," Poroshenko said at a briefing in Munich on Saturday.

"But unfortunately I cannot disclose this information," he said.
