Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz will visit Kyiv on March 25-26, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Yevhen Perebyinis said.

The Austrian minister is due to meet with the country's leaders and hold talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Pavlo Klimkin, Perebyinis said at a briefing on Tuesday.

He is also expected to discuss the situation in eastern Ukraine and Austria's role as Kyiv's European partner in the process of resolving the situation in Donbas, the spokesman said.

This is the not the first meeting between Ukrainian leaders and the Austrian foreign minister, so Ukraine hopes all possible issues will be resolved, "not least because Austria is an important EU member and an influential country," Perebyinis said.
