Wednesday 04 June 2014 15.51 The EU is ready to organise talks next month to set up a donors' conference for the new government in Ukraine, European Commission head Jose Manuel Barroso has said.
Mr Barroso announced the decision at the opening of a G7 leaders' summit, where Ukraine and reinforcing eastern Europe against a resurgent Russia will dominate the agenda.
"We stand ready to organise a donors' coordination meeting in Brussels in July," Mr Barroso said, adding that the EU would do whatever it could to encourage democracy in the region.
"We say that when people are given a real choice they always choose democracy," he said.
Mr Barroso was speaking only hours after US President Barack Obama, also in Brussels for the summit, met Ukraine's newly elected leader Petro Poroshenko in Warsaw.
European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, also speaking at the opening of the summit, said he was going to attend the inauguration ceremony for Mr Poroschenko on Saturday.
"Destabilisation is also a threat to Georgia and Moldova," Mr Van Rompuy added, in a veiled reference to the threat of Russia meddling in countries on its borders.
"Association Agreements with both will be signed in Brussels ahead of the European Council meeting on the 27th of June," he said.
It was a similar association agreement, reneged on last minute by Ukraine under pressure from Russia, which precipitated the worst crisis in East-West relations since the Cold War late last year.
Earlier, Mr Obama called Mr Poroshenko a "wise selection" to lead the country and discussed with him ways the US can help train Ukrainian military personnel.
He said they discussed the new leader's plan to restore peace, boost economic growth, and reduce energy dependence on Russia.
Mr Obama said US aid to Ukraine could include night-vision goggles.
