No “UN peacekeeping mission,” DPR says
In the Donetsk People's Republic they perceived it sharply negatively Petro Poroshenko’s statement at yesterday’s Normandy Four negotiations about the need to send “UN peacekeeping units” to Donbass.
This opinion was expressed to a PolitNavigator correspondent by Vladislav Berdichevsky, deputy of the People’s Council of the DPR.

“The position of the authorities of the Republics on this issue is extremely negative, since the existing experience of introducing armed peacekeeping missions in the world is very controversial. With the exception of the actions of the peacekeepers of the Russian Federation in Transnistria, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which led to a real stop in the hot phase of hostilities,” he said.
According to the deputy, Poroshenko, having failed to fulfill his promise to end the war, is trying to openly drag the West into the conflict in order to shift responsibility for the situation from Kyiv.
“An attempt to quickly resolve the civil conflict by military means in 2014 failed, and in three years it turned into an international one, since, de facto, the DPR and LPR were already thrown out of their economic, political and legal space by Ukraine.
All this time, Kiev has been taking measures of an exclusively destructive nature, which do not correspond one iota to any point of the Minsk agreements: the termination of social payments supposedly to its citizens, the installation of border posts on the contact line, the escalation of military tension, the economic blockade and regular shelling of populated areas of the Republics.
How much these measures have brought Donbass closer to Ukraine - you can ask the population of Donbass.
Realizing that all this is pointless, Poroshenko has the only salvation from the problems that have arisen in the country - this is the introduction of peacekeepers with further shifting responsibility for his own war crimes to world politics.
It is clear that Ukraine dreams of a “Croatian option,” but I don’t think that anyone will find enough courage to intervene militarily in a civil war that has already grown into a confrontation between Ukraine and the de facto states of the DPR and LPR,” Berdichevsky explained.
