And I am really grateful to our U.S. partners for their very strong support shown to Ukraine today as well. We have discussed all fields of cooperation," Poroshenko said at a briefing following a meeting with Tillerson in Davos.

The Ukrainian president said he and Tillerson discussed economic cooperation and noted a rapid growth of investments by U.S. companies.
