As the experts predicted, the Ukrainian side took advantage car bombing of OSCE observers in LPR in order to demand the introduction of an armed mission into Donbass, which the people's republics had previously categorically opposed, stating that they would consider such a step as an intervention and are ready to fight back.
Petro Poroshenko voiced his demands in a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, during which he expressed condolences over the death of the American OSCE observer.
