Poroshenko discussing extension of sanctions against Russia with Hungarian PM

"The parties exchanged the opinions over a wide range of the bilateral issues. The parties discussed the preservation of sanctions against Russia as an efficient tool to ensure a full implementation of the Minsk Agreements and restoration of territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine," reads a report on the president's official website. Moreover, the parties agreed to stir up a bilateral political dialogue on the highest level. The interlocutors noted an importance of carrying this year next meetings of the Ukrainian-Hungarian inter-governmental commissions for economic cooperation, trans-boundary and border cooperation. "Poroshenko thanked Hungary for support of Ukraine over the introduction of visa-free regime with European Union. The interlocutors agreed that a present migration crisis in EU shouldn't influence on visa liberalization process with Ukraine," reads the report posted on the website. It was reported earlier that Poroshenko on Thursday went to Brussels on a two-day visit to meet with the EU leadership. He will also attend a meeting of the European People's Party.
