The sanctions target Ukrainian and Russian officials and companies that the United States has accused of aiding Russia take a strong hold of the Crimean peninsula, a part of Ukraine annexed by Russia in an illegal move in 2014.

Poroshenko called Trump, “one of the most reliable supporters” and “strategic partners” for Ukraine.

In a separate White House statement issued after Pence met with Poroshenko, it said Pence discussed that the United States supports implementing the Minsk agreement, which is aimed at putting an end to Russian support for the rebels in eastern Ukraine.
