Short version: Ukraine backs way off
[Korrespondent] 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. This was stated by the press secretary of the head of state Yulia Mendel on the air of the Dom TV channel on Sunday, April 11.

“In 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. "- Mendel said.

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 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.

#1  Let them go. Obviously, the Russian-speaking East should have some autonomy.

Split that wretched bastard state in two and demilitarize it. Prevent the Western part from joining NATO or the EU. Finlandize it.
