According to media reports, the United States decided to test the readiness of Russia to resolve the conflict in the Donbas.
In the coming days, the US offered Russia a plan to introduce at the Donbass 20 thousand UN peacekeepers, WSJ writes with reference to own sources in the circle of diplomats.
According to media reports, the United States decided to test the readiness of Russia to resolve the conflict in the East of Ukraine.
This decision was also motivated by the hope of Berlin and Paris that Russian President Vladimir Putin is seeking a way to stop the military support for the militants in the Donbass.
Where it is proposed to deploy peacekeepers, the publication does not specify.
Earlier, US Ambassador in Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch in an interview with HB spoke about Washington’s position regarding the introduction of UN peacekeepers to the Donbass.
She noted that it is unknown whether it will be possible to convince Russia to agree to a mission which in his mandate had control over the Ukrainian-Russian border, but it’s worth a try to do it.
President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko urged the UN security Council to deploy a peacekeeping mission in the Donbas in a shorter time.
