Hollande accepts Poroshenko's invitation to pay official visit to Ukraine

According to Interfax-Ukraine, Hollande told Poroshenko: "I guarantee that we are not going to spend the night here." Hollande said this meeting "is being held in a different format" from the previous one, referring to the ceasefire in Donbas. The Ukrainian presidential press service, for its part, reported that the meeting participants had discussed the situation in eastern Ukraine and coordinated their positions before the negotiations in the 'Normandy format'. "The presidents of Ukraine and France pointed out the need to reform the UN Security Council. They discussed the issue of a visa-free regime for Ukrainians and reached an agreement on holding a Ukrainian-French investment forum in November 2015," the report says. Poroshenko invited Hollande to pay an official visit to Ukraine. The invitation was accepted.
