The only way to end the conflict in Ukraine is to supply lethal weapons to Ukraine, that`s according to Czech Republic`s Jaromir Stetina, Member of the European Parliament, who paid a visit to Donbass, according to Donbas News.
The Minsk agreements are initially ineffective, according to the Member of the European Parliament. Stetina added that it was necessary to strengthen sanctions against Russia.
Jaromir Stetina holds the position of deputy head of European Parliament`s Subcommittee on Security and Defence.
He and two other Members of the European Parliament, Rebecca Harms and Michel Boni, on Monday visited Maryinka checkpoint in Donbas, using an opportunity to talk to those crossing the demarcation line.
Earlier, former US Secretary of Defense (2011-2013), ex-director of the Central Intelligence Agency (2009-2011) Leon Panetta said that defensive weapons had to be provided to Ukraine, while talking to Russia would only be effective from a position of strength.
