Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said he hopes for further support from the United States after the presidential elections in that country.

"I will have a meeting with [U.S.] President [Barack] Obama and I have asked the two candidates for a meeting. One of the candidates has already agreed, it's Hillary Clinton. And we hope for a confirmation [of the meeting] from Mr. [U.S. presidential candidate Donald] Trump. And I think we have enough arguments to motivate them to support Ukraine," Poroshenko said when opening the annual meeting of the Yalta European Strategy (YES) in Kyiv on Friday.
