Moscow Times: Putin Refused Poroshenko’s Offer to ‘Take Donbass’
Russian President Vladimir Putin in February turned down an offer from his Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko to “take Donbass,” asking Poroshenko whether he was “out of his mind,” Forbes reported Monday.
Putin reportedly told a closed door meeting with the management of the board of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs on March 19 that Poroshenko had offered him eastern Ukraine's Donbass region — which includes parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions— at peace talks in Minsk in February, according to an unidentified source cited by Forbes who participated in the meeting.
WNU Editor: I doubt that such an offer was made.
