President of the European Parliament (EP) Martin Schulz has assured Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that the EP is ready to support the introduction of visa-free travels for Ukrainians as early as this year.

Poroshenko in turn said Ukraine's parliament has a majority of votes for the adoption of European integration bills, the Ukrainian President's press service said.

Poroshenko and Schulz also discussed their positions regarding the implementation of the Minsk peace agreements.

The two officials met on Thursday as part of the Ukrainian president's two-day visit to Brussels.
