Ukrainians will sort out Donbas reintegration themselves - Poroshenko
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said he categorically rejects the idea of renunciation of Donbas, noting that the Ukrainians will themselves decide how to ensure reintegration of the region.
"Both I as president and most Ukrainian people want one thing - peace, no war, the Russian aggressor out of our occupied lands, to remove its troops and weapons, and we the Ukrainians ourselves will sort out how to ensure reintegration of Donbas into civilian life in Ukraine," the president said during a working trip to the city of Dnipro.
He criticized once again politicians who are using various political rallies to promote the idea of giving up Donbas.
"I ask them: was it you who put these territories together to scatter them around in this way? Do you realize that we have Ukrainians living there?" Poroshenko said.
