The political and material support the United States has provided Ukraine with will continue further, Maj. Gen. Randy Kee, the U.S. European Command's Director of Policy and Strategy, said at a meeting with Ukraine's Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak on Thursday.

Poltorak thanked Kee for the U.S. support and told the foreign delegation about the events in eastern Ukraine, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said on its website.

"Today the situation … remains tense. Regrettably, the Minsk agreements are not being implemented and are being violated daily by the terror groups created with Russia's help," said Poltorak, adding that it poses a threat not only to Ukraine but to the entire world.
