By deciding to stop the truce Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has taken upon himself the responsibility for the resumption of battle actions, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
“Unfortunately, President Poroshenko has decided to resume battle actions. And we could not – I mean myself and my colleagues from Europe – could not convince him that the road to stable, solid and long-term peace can not go through war,” Putin said at a meeting of ambassadors and Russian permanent representatives in Moscow.
“Up until now Petro Oleksiyovych still did not have direct relations to the orders to start battles. Now he took it upon himself. Not just military but political one as well, which is much more important,” Putin said.
