Poroshenko: Law on the Status of Donbass eased the conflict – Television Republic

The President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said that without the adoption by the Ukrainian parliament set a special status of Donbass and without the release of separatists from prosecution, his country could be accused of breaking the peace process.

These laws eased the conflict – said the head of state in an interview for television stations, given on Sunday evening.

– One of the scenarios that could be considered if this Act had not been adopted, it could be dropping to Ukraine liability for breach of the peace process – he stressed. – This would solve the hands of those who hoped that the truce is broken, to accuse the Ukrainian party and deprive it of international support – said Poroshenko.

Poroshenko also said that dominated by separatist regions in the east of the

country will be separated from the remaining territory of the Ukrainian special zone, which will be controlled by the Border Guard. – In addition to the construction of the defenses along the administrative border (around these areas) will be a designated area in which they worked border services. Today, the purpose is to protect the prepared technical and legal – he said.
