Ukrainian president to visit Germany after Easter

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko plans to visit Germany after Orthodox Easter, which is marked in Ukraine this year on April 8.

He stated this in Luhansk region on Friday, while introducing newly appointed Commander of the Joint Forces Serhiy Nayev to servicemen, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"We are making every effort to coordinate our actions with partners in the Normandy format. By the way, I plan to visit Germany right after Easter. So through this coordination we should ensure the adoption of a United Nations Security Council decision on peacekeepers who must come to Ukrainian land and ensure the effective implementation of the Minsk agreements," Poroshenko said.
