President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko did not hold a single meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin after concluding Minsk agreements on settling the situation in eastern Ukraine, the presidential press service said.

“The Ukrainian president has not held any bilateral meeting with the president of Russia since the moment when the Minsk agreements on Donbas were concluded,” the administration’s press service told Interfax-Ukraine on Jan. 22.

Peskov said earlier that Putin and Poroshenko meet away from the public eye. “Such meetings that we do not report do take place,” Peskov said on Russia’s Rossiya 1 TV channel when asked whether meetings between the Russian and Ukrainian presidents have been held.
