Press Secretary of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Yulia Mendel said that Ukraine is not planning an offensive to the uncontrolled territories of Donbass.
According to her on the air of the TV channel “House“, Kiev intends to achieve peace only through negotiations… Mendel noted that this is the strong belief of the president’s team.
She added that this is why Ukraine seeks negotiations in the Normandy format and moves towards peace in all possible diplomatic ways.
“But Russia is a different matter. The whole world today talks about the accumulation of Russian troops near the Ukrainian border. Along the eastern border, 40 thousand Russian troops have already been concentrated, the same number in the occupied Crimea. And now the question is: can Russia attack? Yes, and we this was seen in 2014. But it is necessary to assess the situation soberly, succumb to panic and aggravate the situation – this is as stupid as underestimating the reality of the threat, “the spokeswoman said.
As reported OBOZREVATEL earlier, over the past day, April 11, the Russian occupation troops fired three times Ukrainian positions in the JFO zone in the Donbass. All shelling was carried out in the area of responsibility of the “Vostok” operational-tactical group.
