BRUSSELS, Dec. 11 - European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini will travel to Kiev on Tuesday for talks with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on the crisis in the rebel-held east of the country, the EU said on Thursday.

She will also raise economic, political and judicial reforms that the EU believes are urgently needed in Ukraine, Reuters reported.

Her trip will follow a visit to Brussels on Monday by Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk to follow up on an economic and political cooperation agreement signed in June.
