Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko jointly with Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk and Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Volodymyr Groysman have met with G7 ambassadors and the head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine to discuss the situation around the Ukrainian government.

"The president emphasized that he was strongly determined to continue reforms awaited by Ukrainian society. Rapid reload of the government is essential for that. At the same time, the president believes that the reformer ministers and their teams should stay on board," the presidential press service reported on Thursday evening.

The ambassadors underlined the importance of the Ukrainian authorities' unity in countering Russian aggression.

The parties also discussed the implementation of the Minsk peace agreements.

Russia has not been adhering to the agreements, Poroshenko said and called on the partner countries to continue pressure on Russia through sanctions.
