Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatseniuk said that Ukraine will return control over Donbas when it has enough possibilities for this.
The government head said during a meeting with students of Lviv higher educational establishments, a Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“The return of territories controlled by terrorists is an affair of more than one year, we will return them, when we become stronger,” Yatseniuk noted.
According to him, Minsk agreements were a step forward toward peace, striving to demonstrate a civilized settlement in Donbas. However, the hand stretched forward, hung in the air. Putin changed tactics. He will expect worsening of the economic situation in Ukraine and the consequent social unrest. He wants to make a movement according to a cynical scenario of his security services – through provocations and social, political and economic instability. Our task is not to give the enemy a chance to split the society.
As Yatseniuk said, a serious obstacle for the return of the “hot part of Donbas” is a severe mental trauma of inhabitants of this territory and it will take years to cure it.
