German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she was happy to hear that Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko was ready to discuss decentralization of the government.
Following her meeting with Poroshenko, German Chancellor called on Kyiv and Moscow to reach agreement on tightening control of Russia-Ukraine border, without which regional peace will be impossible to achieve.
For his part, Poroshenko said the Chancellor promised to allocate 500 million euros to restore eastern regions of the country.
