OREANDA-NEWS  President Petro Poroshenko had a meeting with EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Christos Stylianides.

“We observe constant violation of the Minsk agreements. We can see not only ceasefire violation, but also absolutely cynical decision to recognize fake documents of fake republics,” the President said.

“In terms of international law, this is already an element of recognition of these illegal formations and, de-facto, rejection of the Minsk process, for these steps are incompatible with the implementation of the Minsk agreements. We think it is an extremely alarming phenomenon that requires decisive action up to the enhancement of sanctions,” Petro Poroshenko noted.

EU Commissioner Stylianides who has just returned from Mayorsk, urban-type settlement on the frontline, clearly emphasized that the EU continues to fully support Ukraine and exert considerable diplomatic efforts aimed at full implementation of the Minsk agreements by Russia based on unconditional respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of Ukraine.
