Lutsenko told journalists, Censor.NET reports citing UNIAN.

She said she hasn't yet met President Poroshenko so she is not sure whether the draft bill on the Donbas reintegration was discussed during his visit to the United States.

"But I believe that the norms and mechanisms and instruments that have been included in the bill on the Donbas reintegration were discussed with President Trump, and I think with Canada's PM [Justin Trudeau] as well," Lutsenko said.

She said Ukraine's partners were extremely interested in the instruments for the Donbas reintegration.
