of Deputies of Italy Laura Boldrini.

willingness to visit Ukraine at the invitation of her Ukrainian colleague.
Petro Poroshenko praised the resolution of the Italian Parliament, which
recommends the Italian Government to continue the EU's policy of sanctions
against Russia until full implementation of the Minsk agreements.
The parties discussed the deteriorating situation with human rights
protection in Crimea and highlighted the need for ensuring immediate access to
the temporarily occupied territory of the peninsula for international human
rights institutions.
The Head of State thanked the Italian Parliament for timely ratification
of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU. The parties shared
views on the further development of bilateral cooperation within the
international parliamentary institutions, inter alia, PACE, OSCE PA and IPU.
L. Boldrini supported the provision of the visa-free regime for Ukraine
having noted a great contribution of the Ukrainian community of Italy to the
prosperity of the country and Europe as a whole.
