Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said it is necessary to keep international pressure on Russia until the Russian side fully implements the Minsk Agreements.
"International pressure on the aggressor should be kept until Russia implements the Minsk Agreements, withdraws the occupation forces, gives us back control over the border, and gets out of Crimea," Poroshenko said at the meeting with representatives of Ukrainian diplomatic missions and in the presence of Polish President Andrzej Duda in Kyiv on Wednesday.
"I will stress it: the Kremlin consciously ignores the Minsk agreements that are the key to the Donbas settlement and an internationally recognized algorithm of the renewal of the Ukrainian sovereignty," Poroshenko said.
Poroshenko noted that the risk of escalation remains, "regrettably, very high".
"Now, the adversary is concentrating troops and building new military bases," Poroshenko said.
