Moscow, Shawwal 15, 1438, July 09, 2017, SPA -- NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg and US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson were set to meet with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Sunday as part of efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict, dpa reported. Tillerson "will reaffirm America's commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, while encouraging the government of Ukraine to continue implementing reforms that will strengthen Ukraine's economic, political and military resilience," the US State Department said in a statement. Ukraine enacted legislation this weekend to better position itself to join the NATO Western military alliance, a step that will likely further strain relations with Russia. --SPA 15:24 LOCAL TIME 12:24 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w442446
