Ukraine's Presidential Administration has denied reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin made any threats during his conversation with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.
Head of the Information Department at the Presidential Administration Iryna Friz wrote this on her Facebook page.
"Officially. Yesterday, Russian Ambassador [to Ukraine Mikhail] Zurabov was not present during a telephone conversation of the Ukrainian president with Putin. Therefore, reports in the media are also untrue, as well as the fact some threats were made with respect to a sovereign state," she said.
Friz added that within ten years of work with Poroshenko she had made sure that he would never allow anyone to speak in an unconstructive aggressive tone with him.
As reported, according to sources of the Insider online news site, Poroshenko had a hard talk with Putin, during which threats were made to attack Ukraine.
