Russia constantly breaks its promises during the settlement of the situation in Donbas, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said.
“I can say that Ukraine has implemented all points of the peace agreement that we declared. We are ready for a compromise, and I believe that the conflict cannot be resolved by military means. Russia, however, promises one thing and does the opposite on the next day,” he said in an interview with German newspaper Bild.
“We do not want war. We want peace, and we are fighting for European values. But Russia is not complying with any agreements,” he added.
When asked whether he is afraid of a war with Russia, Poroshenko said: “I am not afraid of a war with Russian troops. We are prepared for a scenario of total war. Our army is now in a better state than it was five months ago and we are being supported by the entire world. Our soldiers show that they can protect our country. More than anything we want peace, but we must at the moment face up to the worst-case scenario,” Poroshenko said.
