Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has again reassured that the Ukrainian side has been fulfilling the provisions of the Minsk agreements on the settlement of the Donbas crisis.

"We've discussed the situation in the east of the country and the illegal annexation of Crimea. We've got full understanding of what must be done. I insist that Ukraine has been fulfilling the Minsk agreements – we're doing our utmost to restore peace, we're open to cooperation with the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine. We're ready to take political steps, including an election law," Poroshenko said after a meeting with President of the European Council Donald Tusk and President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker in Brussels on Thursday.

Poroshenko added that he regretted that the Russian side had not been doing anything for its part.
