Kyiv at war with Ukrainians, not with Russia: Kremlin
Moscow: The Kremlin stated on Wednesday that the Ukrainian authorities is in war with its personal residents, not with Russia, in response to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko’s earlier assertion to BBC.
Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that the Kremlin does not agree with Poroshenko, provided that “to begin with, one has to know that sadly, Kyiv is waging war towards its personal residents”.
He added that Ukrainian residents are those who get shot and those who die.
Poroshenko advised BBC in an interview on Wednesday that his nation is within the midst of a “actual war” with Russia in japanese Ukraine.
According to BBC, Poroshenko harassed: “I may be completely clear with you, that is not a struggle with Russian-backed separatists, and this can be a actual war with Russia. The proven fact that we captured Russian common particular forces troopers (is) robust proof of that.”
The president added: “Russia is getting ready an offensive, so I assume we must be prepared and I assume that we do not give them any tiny probability for provocation.”
Russia has repeatedly denied accusations launched by Kyiv and Western leaders that it recurrently sends troops to japanese Ukraine to assist professional-Russian rebels.
According to Poroshenko, the battle has triggered almost 7,000 civilian deaths and 1,800 within the ranks of presidency forces since its outbreak in April 2013.
