Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has had a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Ukrainian presidential press service said on Thursday.
"The Ukrainian head of state has called for freeing Ukrainian hostages held in Russia's prisons and in the territories it has occupied. He also insisted on the importance of providing [Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada's] Human Rights Commissioner Liudmyla Denisova with access to [Ukrainian filmmaker] Oleh Sentsov and other Ukrainian prisoners," the statement said.
Poroshenko also urged Russia to implement its obligations under the Minsk Agreements as concerns security, it said.
