Crisis in eastern Ukraine can be solved only by peaceful means — Poroshenko
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said the crisis in Ukraine’s Donbass region can be solved exclusively by peaceful means, TASS reported.
The text of Poroshenko’s statement has been published on the Ukrainian president’s website.
“We believe that the problem of separate districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions can be solved exclusively in a political and peaceful way. But we have the forces and the means to protect our state today,” Poroshenko said at a meeting with security and law enforcement chiefs on Friday.
The Ukrainian armed forces, however, are ready to give a rebuff if the situation starts unfolding contrary to the peace plan, Poroshenko’s press service reports.
