Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz have discussed the process of implementing the Minsk agreements and the continuation of sanctions against the Russian Federation.

"We talked about the Minsk agreements and coordination of efforts to extend sanctions against Russia," Poroshenko told reporters after talks with Schulz in Munich on Saturday.

He noted that today, unfortunately, we cannot talk about their fulfillment on the part of Russia.

"When we are attacked 70 times per day, OSCE observers are not allowed to enter the uncontrolled part of the border with Russia, when Russia is under arms, when our hostages are held in appalling conditions in the occupied territories and in Russian prisons, including Nadiya Savchenko and Oleh Sentsov," the president said.
