Ukraine: separatists divided over sending peacekeepers

"Regarding the peacekeepers at the very beginning of the conflict, we asked Russia and the UN to consider this option and send"



The pro-Russian separatists would not be against sending peacekeepers. This is at least according to a senior official of the People's Republic of Donetsk, Deputy Defense Minister Eduard Basurin, who was visiting prisoners of war even in Donetsk on Thursday.

It's Kiev yesterday, after the fall of the strategic town of Debaltseve, which claimed the deployment of peacekeeping forces.


"Regarding the peacekeepers at the very beginning of the conflict, when it all started, we had asked Russia and the United Nations to consider this solution and to send troops to peacekeeping. The answer was not at the time. So now if they want to send peacekeepers, we are not against, let's make the "Basurin said.


Petro Poroshenko intends to request sending a contingent of international peace not only to monitor the line separating Ukraine separatist territories, but also the Russian-Ukrainian border, porous.

This request must still be passed by the Ukrainian parliament.


But she flatly rejected by the president of the parliament of the self-proclaimed Republic of Donetsk. Denis Pushilin, he calls to send a police mission of the European Union under the mandate of the United Nations to maintain peace in the east.


What of the future? This morning, France, Germany, Ukraine and Russia, trying to save the new peace agreement in Minsk, despite the fall Debaltseve and even though the Ukrainian army reported further violations of the cease- fire.
