Kyiv Post: Poroshenko says full-blown ‘war’ possible as situation in Ukraine’s east further deteriorates
Full-scale war can flare up instantly, Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko warned at the International Support for Ukraine converence in Kyiv on April 28.
“The threat of war is still hanging over us. It is our reality. War may erupt at any moment,” Poroshenko said. “But we are prepared to do everything we can to erase any possibility to doubt or retreat.”
He also promised to find a way of resolving the conflict in easternmost Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts where combined Russian-separatist forces have waged an unprovoked war against Kyiv since mid-April 2014.
Poroshenko’s pledge came as Ukraine’s military said that Kremlin-backed forces are again firing heavy weapons on civilian and army positions.

WNU Editor: This conflict screams for a political solution .... unfortunately .... no one is interested in a political solution or even making the first steps towards a compromise .... Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko included.
