Former Ukrainian Prime Minister and Batkivschyna Party leader Yulia Tymoshenko has said that what is happening in eastern Ukraine is a new-type war by Russia against Ukraine.

 “We must tell Ukrainians the truth – the Russian Federation has begun
a real war against Ukraine in the eastern regions, especially in
Donetsk and Luhansk regions… Ukraine is being seized through a new
type of war,” Tymoshenko said at a press conference in Kyiv on Tuesday, April 15.

“World leaders must recognize Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in
the eastern regions through the war. It’s necessary to change tactics
and strategy, attitude to this fact, as well as measures that are used
today by key countries in the world against the Russian aggressor,” she
said.
