Ukraine's Poroshenko says tougher to secure Western support:
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko says it has become increasingly difficult for Ukraine to secure Western support in its fight against "Russian aggression."
Speaking in Kyiv on September 6, Poroshenko said Europe's internal strength was being tested by external issues such as the migration crisis and militant attacks, and warned that elections in 2017 could see political forces more willing to compromise with the Kremlin take power.
"Ukraine will continue to need strong international support in the fight against Russian aggression," and a full-scale invasion from Russia cannot be ruled out, he said at the opening of the September parliament session. (Reuters)
