KIEV (Sputnik) — Kiev and the leaders of the European Union have discussed during the bilateral summit in Kiev the possibility of elaboration of a new economic support plan for Ukraine, Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko said on Thursday.

"Today we discussed the possibility of preparing a new long-term support plan for Ukraine, which was proposed at the European People's Party summit, something like the Marshall Plan for Ukraine," Poroshenko told a briefing, aired by 112 Ukraina TV channel.

The president added that the plan should contribute to stabilization and economic growth in Ukraine, adding that in this context the possibility of organizing an investment conference in Brussels at the beginning of 2018 would also be considered.

Other than the support plan for Ukraine, the sides discussed the ongoing conflict in the country's eastern regions and welcomed the completion of the ratification of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement.

On Tuesday, the Council of the European Union approved the EU-Ukraine association deal, signed in 2014, as a final step of the ratification process.
