Poroshenko inclined to compromises on issues of internal Ukrainian settlement - Nazarbayev

SOCHI. Aug 16 (Interfax) - Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko is inclined towards compromises on the issue of the settlement process in Donbas, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev said.

"Poroshenko telephoned me recently [and said] that [the absence] of a majority in the [Verkhovna] Rada was hindering the adoption [of a law on] the status of Donbas. In other words, I think that [he] is also inclined towards finding compromises, but they cannot be found for some reason," Nazarbayev said before the start of talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The topic of the settlement process in Ukraine was addressed during the meeting.
