KIEV, March 29 - A summit between top European Union officials and Ukraine's leaders will take place in Kiev at the end of April, Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko announced on Saturday, AFP reported.

The summit comes amid a shaky ceasefire between Kiev forces and pro-Russian separatists in the country's east, which came into force on February 15.

During a phone conversation with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, "the parties... confirmed that the Ukraine-EU summit would be held on April 27," a statement on Poroshenko's official website said.
