Ukraine is not planning an attack on the uncontrolled territories of Donbass. Official Kiev intends to resolve everything through negotiations.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s team has a strong belief that peace must be achieved through negotiations. About it stated press secretary of the head of state Yulia Mendel on the air of the Dom TV channel on Sunday, April 11.
“For six months, while the regime of silence was observed, there were only five deaths on our side. And already this year, in just over three months, 26 Ukrainian soldiers were killed. This sad statistics shows that, albeit fragile, but still the balance was violated “- Mendel noted.
At the same time, according to her, Ukraine is not planning an attack on the uncontrolled territories of Donbass.
“But Russia is a different matter. The whole world today is talking about the accumulation of Russian troops near the Ukrainian border. Along the eastern border, 40 thousand Russian troops have already been concentrated, the same number in the occupied Crimea. And now the question is: can Russia attack? Yes, and we are saw in 2014. But you need to assess the situation soberly, succumb to panic and aggravate the situation – this is as stupid as underestimating the reality of the threat, “the press secretary emphasized.
In this regard, the representative of the president added, Zelensky is seeking negotiations in the Normandy format and moving towards peace “by all possible diplomatic means.”
Earlier, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Andriy Taran said that the real reason for the buildup of the Russian military presence on the border with Ukraine could be increasing pressure on the country with the aim of forcing concessions in the negotiation process.
