WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama, in a meeting with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko at the White House on Thursday, said the United States would continue to mobilise the international community to reach a diplomatic solution to the crisis in Ukraine.

Poroshenko, who met with Obama in the Oval Office, said he hoped the ceasefire in his country would lead to a broader peace. He told reporters later that he was satisfied with the assistance that Washington was providing to Ukraine.
