Poroshenko: I don't trust Putin, his puppets, their promises, so Ukrainian army should be on constant alert
Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko has said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine must be in a state of constant readiness due to the risk of renewed hostilities in Donbas.
"I absolutely do not trust [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, I absolutely do not trust his puppets, and I absolutely do not trust their promises. We need you to defend Ukraine, to defend it if someone decides to test our strength," the president said at a meeting with military commanders involved in the Anti-Terrorist Operation in Donbas in Kyiv on Monday, ahead of upcoming the Day of Defender of Ukraine.
In this regard, Poroshenko called on the Ukrainian military "to be prepared for the worst at every moment."
He also said that as a result of recent international negotiations Ukraine has managed to achieve a stable ceasefire.
