Poroshenko says US promised new weapons to Ukraine

The United States has promised Ukraine to supply new weapons, Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko said on Sunday.

“While in New York, I had three meetings with U.S. President Barack Obama – before and after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and after talks with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, where he told me he had signed a document on supplying new weapons to Ukraine,” Poroshenko said in an interview with Ukrainian television channels.

“We need these weapons like air,” he said.
