“Ukraine took part in peacekeeping operations, where the attack was half the size of the attack that my country is exposed to from the Russian Federation. Today we also need the shoulder of a peacemaker,” Poroshenko said.
According to an established personal tradition, he took out some passports from under the table and stated that these were evidence that there were Russian soldiers in Ukraine who were being captured by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In total, according to Poroshenko, from May to August in the Donbass, 161 people were killed and 26 were wounded in 135 conflicts, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“People can be killed just because they go to the wrong church, speak the wrong words, speak the wrong language, or simply disagree. If this tragedy does not require a peacekeeping mission, then what does it?” – Poroshenko said, without specifying who is killing people.
According to him, “the road to peace lies in stopping the sending of Russian soldiers and weapons to Ukrainian soil.”
Let us recall that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov today at the UN proposed introducing a mission to protect OSCE observers “in the South-East of Ukraine.” At the same time, Lavrov interpreted what was happening in Donbass as an internal Ukrainian conflict.
