Opposition Bloc supports idea to deploy peacekeepers along disengagement line in Donbas
KYIV. Sept 5 (Interfax-Ukraine) - The Opposition Bloc faction in the Ukrainian parliament supports the initiative to deploy UN peacekeepers in Donbas, even if they work only along the disengagement line, Opposition Bloc faction deputy head Serhiy Liovochkin said.
"The root of the word 'peacekeepers' is peace. If any peaceful initiative is possible now, and if it is supported in the Normandy format or in the UN format, all this brings Ukraine closer to peace. Certainly, it's necessary to support this and only then consider who should stand with weapons in what corner," Liovochkin told journalists in Kyiv on Tuesday.
"If there is such an initiative, we, the Opposition Bloc, support it and call on all political forces to refrain from speculations," Liovochkin said.
"We will support any peaceful initiatives, including those about deploying peacekeepers," he said.
