The document aims to bring an end to fighting in east Ukraine, where Ukrainian forces have been battling Russian-backed militants for some nine months.
Poroshenko told Polish channel TVN 24 that the letter also contained a demand that Russia free Ukrainian prisoners including Natalie Savchenko, a Ukrainian fighter pilot who says she was captured by Russian-backed militants in June and illegally moved across the border to Russia in July.
She is currently being held in Moscow where she has been on hunger strike for 7 weeks.
