U.S. ready to become more active in Donbas settlement – Poroshenko
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said he received assurances from the U.S. leadership that Washington will become more engaged in the process of settling the situation in Donbas.
"We are in favor of preserving the Normandy format and the Minsk agreements, and we will only welcome larger role of the U.S. in this process, and we've received assurances thereof," Poroshenko said in an interview with Ukrainian television channels aired on Sunday evening.
According to him, U.S. President Donald Trump will use his first meeting with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to convince the latter "of the utter futility of attempts to exert on pressure Ukraine."
Poroshenko also recalled that Kyiv supports the adoption of a "roadmap" of the Minsk process, outlining specific dates will be clearly concerning what should be accomplished and when.
