Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the Security Council of Ukraine, said that Kiev would not resolve the issue of belonging to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, fearing mass deaths of the population, TASS reports.

“We are responsible for the civilian population that is there today. If, God forbid, the troops go on the offensive today, can you imagine how many people could die in such an operation? he said.

He also called “fiction” the assumptions about Kiev’s readiness to launch an offensive in the Donbass and expressed confidence that the region, like Crimea, would return to Ukraine, it was only a matter of time.

Earlier, the DPR announced that Ukraine had deployed an S-300 division to the Donbass to prepare an offensive. Eduard Basurin, deputy head of the People's Militia Department of the DPR, also said that British and Polish mercenaries were involved in the Donbass.
