Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko has labeled as unacceptable the insults hurting national dignity of a person, such as occurred on Monday at the National Reforms Council attended by the head of state, Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk, Interior Minister Arsen Avakov and Head of Odesa Regional State Administration Mikhail Saakashvili.

"Discussion on this platform is often heated and emotional. Two different points of view are clashing, ideas are being projected, compromises made, reforms born. But in the National Council more than anywhere else it is unacceptable to use strong language and insults - especially with xenophobic undertones hurting national dignity of a person, calling into question his Ukrainian patriotism, offering someone 'to get out of Ukraine'," the president said in a statement posted on his official website on Tuesday.

Poroshenko said that the National Reforms Council was "a principally new, independent agency, which was formed through a transparent tender procedure." "It's time to end anti-corruption show, begin anti-corruption deeds," the president stressed.

It was reported earlier that Odesa Governor Mikheil Saakashvili clashed with Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov at a meeting of the National Reforms Council on Monday, in which the two accused each other of corruption.
