Diplomacy or arms? The issue divides in Kiev


"What can stop the conflict in the Donbass: diplomacy or weapons, asks Maria Korenyuk, euronews correspondent in Kiev?. Western leaders will bring their response after the discussions provided in Minsk on Wednesday. Here in the capital, leaders continue to seek weapons to defend themselves. Moreover, on Wednesday, parliament will ask the US Congress providing military aid. "


The next few hours will be crucial to try to find a rapid solution to this crisis. Otherwise, the military option will take over. Who has interest? We put the question to Oleh Voloshyn, Ukrainian specialist geopolitics.


"Hope in the Ukrainian camp, he believes, is that the losses among the separatists could force the Russian president to stop the offensive. But there is unlikely to happen. In fact, the military option is an option that is only suitable for Russia. "


Weapons to fight or negotiations for a cease-fire? What do the residents of the capital. Opinions are divided. "I do not think we should call for military help, unless you want to trigger a Third World War," says a young woman interviewed near the Independence Square.


"I added an old man, I think you have to ask for arms. Westerners must help us. This conflict concerns. If allowed to progress aggressors, then other countries will soon be threatened. "


Among the advanced tracks by diplomats, there is the establishment of a demilitarized zone in the east of Ukraine. The question is who could ensure control of this area, provided that the parties would agree to silence the guns. Which is not yet the case.
