Rebel Leader’s New Solution To The Ukraine Civil War: He Wants To Duel The Ukrainian President On Live TV -- National Post/The Telegraph

DONETSK — A senior rebel leader in eastern Ukraine has proposed settling the outcome of the country’s civil war with a duel.

In an open letter to Petro Poroshenko, the president, Igor Plotnitsky, head of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic, suggested that they decide the conflict once and for all in the manner of a gentlemen’s quarrel.

“Each party has the right to 10 witnesses and 10 media representatives,” Mr. Plotnitsky, 50, wrote in an open letter to Mr. Poroshenko.

“I would not be against the duel being shown live on TV. I will let you choose the place and the weapons.”

Mr. Poroshenko, 49, has not responded to the challenge, which came as chances of a diplomatic solution to the crisis continued to dwindle.
