Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said that he does not see a military way to de-occupy a part of Donbas and the Crimean Peninsula.

"No military solution to de-occupy Donbas and Crimea exists. I am 'a president of peace' and to effectively ensure concerted actions by Ukraine and those, who support us in the world, efforts of Ukrainian diplomats are needed," the head of state said in an interview with the Ukrainian television stations aired on Sunday evening.

He commented so on the previously voiced position regarding the inexpediency of severing diplomatic relations with Russia.
