美国副总统拜登离开华盛顿进行为期5天的出访,他将于本星期晚些时候与乌克兰领导人举行会谈。

一名白宫高层官员说,拜登星期五将表示美国关注俄罗斯持续违反9月5日与乌克兰签订的明斯克协议。这项协议要求基辅和亲俄分离分子实行停火。

白宫说,俄罗斯未就履行明斯克协议所规定的义务采取有效步骤,如从乌克兰撤出全部俄罗斯军队以及制止大批雇佣军、武器和设备越界进入乌克兰。

美国表示,莫斯科还不准一个国际观察团对俄乌边界实施监督。

在访问乌克兰期间,拜登将主持一次有关打击腐败以及法治改革的圆桌讨论会。

拜登还将访问摩洛哥和土耳其。

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden has left Washington for a five day trip that will include talks with leaders in Ukraine later this week.

A senior White house official says Biden on Friday will convey U.S. concerns about "Russia’s ongoing violations of the September 5th Minsk agreement with Ukraine."   The agreement called for a ceasefire between Kyiv and pro-Russian separatists.

The White House says Russia has not taken meaningful steps to implement its obligations under Minsk, such as removing all of its troops from Ukraine and stopping the flow of mercenaries, weapons and equipment across the border.  

The U.S. says Moscow has also failed to allow an international observer mission to monitor the international border between Russia and Ukraine.

While in Ukraine, Biden will chair a roundtable discussion on anti-corruption and rule of law reforms.

Biden's trip will also include stops in Morocco and Turkey.
