“We do not intend to conduct offensive operations in Donbass.
Ukraine is committed to a peaceful settlement of the conflict, and I really appreciate the United States for its support for Ukraine, especially for its efforts to create a containment package, ”the newspaper Evropeyskaya Pravda quoted him as saying.
Kuleba also accused Russia of "provoking Ukraine not only militarily, but also diplomatically."
The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Maria Zakharova, said at a briefing that, according to some sources, Kiev had drawn up to 125 thousand troops to Donbass.
She noted that this is half of the composition of the Ukrainian army.
The Kremlin said that accusations of aggression on Russia could hide an attempt by Kiev to resolve the Donbass issue by force.
