Moscow - Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has made a fatal mistake, having ended truce, and is now personally responsible for casualties, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said.
“Having ended truce, President Poroshenko has made a fatal mistake. It will bring new casualties. And he is personally responsible for them now,” Medvedev posted on his Facebook account on July 2.
The prime minister’s post on Facebook is headlined Five Brief Comments of Situation in Ukraine.
The statement on Poroshenko’s mistake is the first one.
The second comment said that “it will be more difficult to return to talks. This is law of war.”
Medvedev referred to Ukraine signing the association agreement with the European Union and Ukraine’s not paying for Russia gas in third and fourth comments respectively.
The fifth statement concerns the flow of refugees coming from Ukraine to Russia due to the events in southeastern Ukraine. “Fifth. Huge flow of refugees. Dozen thousands. People are fleeing from war. The U.S. propaganda claims they are going ‘for vacation to grandmothers.’ Cynicism has no limit,” the Russian prime minister said.
“It will be difficult to develop relations with Ukraine amid such circumstances, and impossible on certain issues,” Medvedev said.
