It is noted "the Deputy Secretary congratulated the Foreign Minister on the progress his government has made to combat corruption and institute reforms."

"The two also discussed opportunities for further integrating Ukraine's military, investment, and trade with the Euro-Atlantic community," reads the report.

As UNIAN reported earlier, Prystaiko said Ukraine was ready for a dialogue with Donbas residents, but not with the fake puppets, so-called "representatives."
