Ukraine planned to discuss with the US Special Representative Kurt Volker three extremely important issues.

First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Irina Gerashchenko listed: "the situation with humanitarian and environmental security, the peacekeeping mission in the Donbass and hostages".

May 14 Volcker arrived in Donbass.

And today he takes part in a press conference during which representatives of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will announce the provision of additional assistance in the amount of $ 125 million for the Donbass and surrounding areas "who felt the influence of Russian aggression".

In an interview with the Voice of America Russian Service, Kurt Volker said: "On the one hand, we can say that after four years of sanctions Russia has not left Ukraine. And it is true. On the other hand, it should be noted that Russia has not moved forward and receives no new dividends from the current situation ". That is why, the American diplomat noted, "it is necessary to determine the conditions that all parties will arrange, will take into account the interests of Russia, Ukraine, and the West".

This is the seventh visit of Kurt Volcker to Ukraine in the last eight months.
