Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko opposes cutting diplomatic ties with Russia and supports the need to concentrate on implementing the Minsk ceasefire agreement instead, local media reported Thursday.
A Ukrainian lawmaker said earlier that the Verkhovna Rada’s (Ukrainian parliament) foreign affairs committee upheld a resolution on terminating relations with Russia, Sputnik news agency reported. A group of lawmakers has registered a draft resolution within the parliament earlier.
"Rada will not support this bill. Let’s not even discuss this," Poroshenko told members of the Ukrainian diaspora in Washington, as quoted by the Ukrinform news service.
He noted that the draft law was "several lawmakers’ initiative."
"Our peace plan is implementing the Minsk agreements," Poroshenko stressed.
