Ukraine President: 'Conflict Will Last Decades'



Reuters: Military pressure on Ukraine will last decades, president says

Military pressure on Ukraine from Russia and the separatists that Moscow supports is likely to last decades and future generations will have to undergo military training, President Petro Poroshenko said on Saturday.

Poroshenko made one of his gloomiest predictions on prospects for peace in his country days before he meets German and French leaders in Berlin for a summit he called to urge them to put pressure on Russia to comply with a six-month-old peace plan strained by ceasefire violations and shelling.

Poroshenko, speaking at a military rally in Kharkiv region at which he handed over new weapons and equipment to the army, praised Ukrainian forces for combating what he called a "Russian offensive" in the separatist conflict which erupted in the eastern Donbass region in April 2014.

WNU editor: This is not what the people in Ukraine want to hear right now. President Petro Poroshenko's polls numbers have been in toilet for much of this year .... Polls: Ukrainian Public Dissatisfied With Current Conditions. Ukraine Government And Ukraine President Poroshenko Deeply Unpopular .... his support will be non-existent by next year if this is how he sees this conflict playing out.
