Poroshenko doesn't rule out possibility of use of peacekeepers in Donbas before elections
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko believes the use of international peacekeeping forces in eastern Ukraine before the elections is probable.
"I do not rule out that international peacekeeping forces, the EU Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP) mission or the OSCE police force, will have to be used to ensure security, especially before the elections. We are calculating our further steps very thoroughly," he told a press conference in Kyiv on Thursday.
