UNIAN: Kremlin's allegations aim to discredit Ukraine, Poroshenko says

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has told French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel that the Kremlin's allegations against Ukraine of plotting terrorist acts in the Russian-occupied Crimea aim to discredit the country in the international partners' eyes.

"The accusations brought by the Kremlin against Ukraine that it allegedly carried out subversive activity on the peninsula are aimed, among other things, at discrediting Ukraine in the eyes of the international partners," the Ukrainian president's press service reported in a readout of a recent phone call between Poroshenko and the French and German leaders.
