"Assistance and coordination from the United States is symbolic in these times," Petro Poroshenko said.

Speaking of the security and defense issues, the President informed that the parties had reached full consent "that the most appropriate format for ensuring the peace process is the format of trilateral contact group, which should ensure the fulfillment of the key elements of the peace plan: immediate ceasefire, creation of the buffer zone, immediate pullback to the delimitation line, border closure, withdrawal of foreign military troops and heavy armament, immediate start of the political process through the holding of local elections under the Ukrainian legislation in the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions".

"We need the peace process more than ever. Ukraine strictly adheres to all the obligations undertaken during the signature of the Minsk protocol and the Minsk memorandum. We share common opinion that it is the basic format that is to be fulfilled by all the parties. We will do everything possible to ensure that," the Head of State noted.

The President expressed gratitude to the United States for continuing cooperation in defense sphere.

The Ukrainian President and the U.S. Vice President have discussed a wide range of issues regarding the cooperation in energy sphere: from atomic energy to crisis coordination, in case gas supply will be called into question. Petro Poroshenko noted that the documents signed in Brussels had become a significant contribution to the energy security of Europe and Ukraine. "Energy security of Europe and Ukraine is ensured for today," the President emphasized.

The Head of State informed that the interlocutors had also discussed cooperation in the implementation of reforms.

He urged Ukrainians to use this chance and build a democracy for the successful development of the country.

The U.S. Vice President informed that he had discussed the threats to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity with President Poroshenko.
