President Poroshenko thanks Italian MPs for rejecting resolution on lifting sanctions against Russia

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has thanked the Italian parliament for rejecting a resolution submitted by some political parties on lifting sanctions against Russia.

"I express my gratitude to the Italian parliamentarians, who rejected a proposal by some parties to lift sanctions against Russia! Instead, the Italian parliament adopted a resolution on support of Ukraine, which calls for the full implementation of the Minsk agreements. I’m grateful to all those who work on the creation of a powerful pro-Ukrainian coalition in the world!” President Poroshenko wrote on his Facebook page.
