The Ukrainian Armed Forces' General Staff chief Viktor Muzhenko has presented his views on a possible escalation of the situation in Donbas at a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Military Committee in Brussels.

"We have informed the NATO general staff chiefs on possible variants, scenarios, our views of a possible escalation of the conflict and a deterioration of the situation in eastern Ukraine, as well as in the system of the European-wide security. Without exception, all allies have confirmed support to Ukraine, condemned Russia's aggression and said that they will continue to provide assistance to our country," the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's press service cited Muzhenko as saying on Wednesday.
