Kyiv, October 12 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Raichenko) – The team of the Ukrainian president made it clear that the law on the special status of Donbass, adopted on Poroshenko’s initiative, is only tactical in nature, and then the Ukrainian army will open fire anyway.
Alexander Tretyakov, who was previously part of Viktor Yushchenko’s inner circle together with the current president, said this in an interview with Kraina magazine.

“The law was passed for three years,” Tretyakov reassures opponents of the law. – These are not changes to the Constitution, so I don’t see a tragedy. Voting and repealing the law is not a problem. The main thing is that we do not lose the territory of sovereign Ukraine, and Russia is withdrawing its troops.”
However, the president’s ally immediately adds that he is 90 percent sure that Russia will not keep its promises and promises to prepare for the coming war.
“There is an old saying: first diplomats speak, and then guns,” the politician recalls. “We must try to follow the path of peace in order to save people’s lives and create a strong and combat-ready army.” This is the main task of the authorities. If we exhaust peaceful arguments, our new army will use guns.”
