Poroshenko said 80 per cent of the people wanted an election and he was ready for it.
The crisis in Ukraine, has already killed 2,000 people and is the worst crisis between Russia and the West, after the end of Cold War.
To Meet Putin
Petro Poroshenko is scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, next week. His meeting with Putin will take place at the Belarus capital Minsk on Tuesday. The Ukrainian President will urge Putin to disengage with the rebel fighters in eastern Ukraine.
The battlefield successes of Ukrainian government have impressed the West but they also fear that it will drive Putin dangerously into a corner with no face to save.
Visit Of German Chancellor
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is scheduled to visit Kyiv on Saturday to show her support to Poroshenko. But Merkel is also keen on a ceasefire with the rebels to avoid any backlash from Russia.
Meanwhile, the Russian aid convoy continues to be stuck at a no man’s land at the border with Ukraine. Ukrainian border guards said they would inspect them soon. The aid convoy has been waiting for entry into the beleaguered city of Luhansk in eastern Ukraine.
The convoy of 260 trucks is stuck because Ukraine is suspicious of its content and fears that the supplies will boost the rebels. Therefore, Ukraine wanted Russia to pass through scrupulous border formalities and get the endorsement of Red Cross before entering its territory.
