The U.S. will continue assisting the reform of Ukraine's law enforcement system, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk said.

"We discussed in the U.S. that our U.S. partners will continue supporting the police reform," Yatseniuk said in the parliament following a visit to the U.S.

Yatseniuk recalled that new Ukrainian police have now appeared in Kyiv, but it is only the first step. "The next steps will be Lviv, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv," he said.

Yatseniuk also said the U.S. is now training servicemen of the Ukrainian National Guard. "I have raised the issue of increasing the assistance to the National Guard and the Armed Forces," he said.
