Poroshenko knows that he cannot defeat Donbass in the war
The DPR will remain committed to implementing the agreements signed in Minsk, but it will not be easy to achieve this from Kiev, given the attempt of Ukrainian saboteurs to carry out terrorist attacks in Crimea, writes Denis Pushilin, Chairman of the People's Council of the Donetsk People's Republic, plenipotentiary representative of the DPR at the contact group negotiations in Minsk, in Izvestia.

“I have more than once seen saboteurs thrown into the territory of the DPR by Ukrainian security forces, and I was always surprised by their lack of an elementary instinct of self-preservation. But the Ukrainian government’s lack of understanding of responsibility for such actions is more surprising to me,” the author notes. – Attacking a state unrecognized by the world community is one thing, but trying to provoke the world’s largest power into a military clash can either be a stronger enemy or an absolutely desperate one.
All these events indicate that the Ukrainian government has allowed itself to be driven into a corner by the world puppet master. An oligarch president, a puppet government and a radical parliament under the control of Western partners are leading Ukraine not to a happy future, but to the chopping block.”
“And today it almost doesn’t matter how Ukraine falls. For Petro Poroshenko, any further steps lead into the abyss: he can neither implement the Minsk agreements nor disrupt Minsk-2. The heads of major European states acted as guarantors of the Minsk agreements. The set of measures is supported by the UN Security Council Resolution.
All this imposes certain obligations on the country and its president. He can only provoke Donbass into war in the hope that our nerves are not as strong as the desire to punish the enemy. But he also cannot go to war, because now he knows for sure that he will not win. And at home he has thousands and thousands of dead and missing, a destroyed economy, unsustainable government loans, impoverishment of the people and the complete collapse of the once strong Ukrainian state and... no prospects.”
