“I see at least three (options. - RT ). You can try to come to an agreement within the framework of the unjust process that we entered many years ago. The second tactic is to drag out for an infinitely long time until they kill our soldiers and until the people on the other side of the contact line finally hate us and we can never return them, ”Pristayko said.

The third option, according to the head of the foreign ministry, is "never again to return to this part of Ukraine."

Earlier, Minister of Defense of Ukraine Andrii Zagorodniuk announced the creation of a coordination center to solve problems and ensure the safety of residents of Donbass.

The command of the Armed forces of Ukraine postponed the withdrawal of forces in Zolotoy from October 7 to 9.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry explained the failure of the agreements by the ongoing shelling of the settlements of Zolotoe and Petrovskoye.

In the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, Kiev was accused of sabotaging the withdrawal of forces in the Donbass.

Former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oleg Tsaryov, in an interview with the NSN, assessed the chances of the President of Ukraine to achieve peace in the Donbass.
