The bet on war is made: Poroshenko ordered the bombing of Donbass
Yesterday’s shelling of Makeyevka by Ukrainian troops, which led to casualties and destruction of residential buildings, is Kyiv’s attempt to provoke the DPR army into a retaliatory strike, so that Petro Poroshenko would have a reason to break the Minsk agreements, which are unfavorable to him.
This opinion was voiced by Russian analyst and radio host Armen Gasparyan to PolitNavigator.

“Without a doubt, with such shelling Kyiv is trying to provoke the DPR army to retaliate, thereby accusing it of disrupting the Minsk agreements. We must remember how pale Poroshenko looked after the Normandy format meeting and Merkel’s statements that, to put it mildly, he was not telling the truth. And the very angry reaction of Kyiv politicians that immediately followed.
All these people are not committed to any kind of peaceful settlement in the southeast. It is, of course, easier for them to solve the problem using military methods. And they talked about this many times.
The obstruction that followed Savchenko’s visit to Moscow is links in the same chain. Kyiv has little time left to resolve all its issues. For them, of course, the ideal is to meet the deadline before the new US President takes office.
Now America is in a state of semi-positions and, in fact, Ukraine at some point is left to its own devices. Of course, they will try to resolve all issues by radical, military means.
What is important here is the reaction of the countries participating in the Normandy format. I mean, first of all, France and Germany. They have already significantly tightened their rhetoric, but it seems to me that the next tragedy in Makeyevka should finally rid both Paris and Berlin of the remnants of illusions that they experienced regarding the Poroshenko regime.
This is a pure bet on war. He does not need any peaceful settlement. All this falls on the same scale with the statement that they are not going to pay any of their social obligations to the residents of Donetsk and Lugansk. You can only say this if you are going to get rid of this population, which, unfortunately, is what they are doing,” Gasparyan said.
