President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko notes the importance of compliance with the Minsk agreements providing for a ceasefire, the withdrawal of Russian troops, heavy equipment and artillery, the return of Ukrainian control over the uncontrolled section of the Ukrainian-Russian border in the east of the country.
He said about this during a meeting with Luxembourg’s Foreign and European Affairs Minister Jean Asselborn, the official website of the president says.
“Our joint position is to return the territories under Ukrainian sovereignty, which are now under occupation,” the Ukrainian president said.
Poroshenko noted that “unfortunately there are other scenarios that are not developed in Ukraine or the European Union. They presuppose cutting off these territories, closing the borders along the collision line and granting these territories to the aggressor.”
The president said that there is an aggravation of the situation in Donbas because of the provocative actions of the Russian side.
Poroshenko returned thanks for the support and solidarity to the world leaders, including Luxembourg, the EU, the U.S. and Canada in the issue of counteracting Russian aggression and condemning the trade blockade.
