In Ukraine, there are 9 thousand Russian military, 500 tanks, as well as heavy artillery and armored personnel carriers. According to Ukrainian Pravda, this was announced by President of the country Petro Poroshenko at the World Economic Forum in Davos, citing intelligence data.
"If this is not aggression, then what is aggression?" - asked the leader of the Ukrainian state.
Poroshenko recalled that Kyiv fulfilled all the obligations assigned to him by the Minsk agreements, while the terrorists, behind whom Moscow, violated the ceasefire.
Commenting on the negotiations of the heads of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France, Poroshenko remarked : "We have nothing to discuss - everything has already been defined and signed. We have a Minsk format. Now we need to directly introduce a ceasefire, take artillery and tanks."
The Ukrainian leader drew attention to the difference between the proposals of Kyiv and Moscow. “It seems that we demand the same thing,” he said. “But we believe that artillery should be taken from the line of contact along the Minsk memorandum. And Russia simply wants to take it off, and where it is incomprehensible.”
Putin continued Poroshenko, states that he has only a limited influence on terrorists and therefore cannot force them to take the artillery from the demarcation line, although the Kremlin recognizes this line. “But the decision here is simple,” the President of Ukraine objected: “Stop supplying them weapons, ammunition, take the weapons and close the border. If you want to discuss something else, then I think that you do not support the world.”
Poroshenko also showed the students a fragment of a bus shot near Volnovakha . “This is a symbol of a terrorist attack on my country,” the President of Ukraine emphasized.
