The Ukrainian authorities can provoke a new civil war in the country. This, as reported by “Interfax”, said the press secretary of Russian President Dmitry Peskov.
“We express our concern about the growing tensions and express our concern that one way or another the Ukrainian side may take provocative actions that will lead to war. Of course, I really would not like to see it, ”said Peskov.
Answering a journalist’s question whether the Kremlin’s representative admits the possibility of Russia’s participation in this war on the side of Donbass, the speaker of the head of state explained: “I mean the civil war that has already taken place there.”
Earlier, the authorities of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics accused the Ukrainian leadership of completely abandoning restrictions on offensive and sabotage actions on the contact line in Donbass, contrary to the Minsk agreements.
Meanwhile, Dmitry Peskov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin, his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron and German Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel intend to discuss the situation in southeastern Ukraine. They were going to talk without the participation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyyy.
This conversation took place in the stated format. The spokesman for the Russian leader noted that he was frank and passed in a constructive manner.
The fact that there is a civil war in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin spoke back in May 2014 – shortly after the start of the operation of the Ukrainian security forces in the Donbass.
