The seizure of Donbass by force can lead to the death of a large number of people, and therefore is unacceptable for Kiev. This opinion was expressed by the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ruslan Khomchak.
According to Khomchak, at present the priority for the Ukrainian authorities is the political and diplomatic way of resolving the situation in Donbass.
He also added that reports about Ukraine’s preparations for an offensive in Donbass “do not correspond to reality”.
