Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko had a telephone conversation with European Council President Donald Tusk on Wednesday evening to coordinate positions in the run-up to a European Council meeting slated for December 15 in Brussels, the Ukrainian presidential press service reported.
Tusk assured Poroshenko that he would do his best for ratifying the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement and completing the procedure of granting visa-free travel to Ukrainians as soon as possible.
Poroshenko said he expected the EU to extend the sanctions against Russia for its failure to implement the Minsk Agreements. He also expressed concerns about the humanitarian situation in Syria's Aleppo and insisted that Russia deserved special sanctions for this, the press service said.
