Yulia Mendel, the press secretary of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, said that Kiev does not plan starting active hostilities in the Donbass. According to her, "Ukraine cannot attack its own territory and fight its people." Earlier, the head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, told about Kiev's readiness for full-scale military action. “The commander-in-chief of our army has already stated that reports of Ukraine’s alleged offensive in Donbass are a complete fake and disinformation. Ukraine cannot attack its own territory and cannot fight its own people, ”she said on the Dom TV channel.“ But Russia is another matter. The whole world today talks about Russian troops accumulation near the Ukrainian border. Along the eastern border, 40 thousand Russian troops have already been concentrated, the same number in the occupied Crimea. And now the question is: can Russia attack? " The situation in southeastern Ukraine escalated in March 2021. Kiev accused Moscow of pulling troops to the border with Ukraine. In response, the Kremlin said that Russian troops movement on its territory should not bother anyone. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov talked about the danger of full-scale hostilities in the region. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ruslan Khomchak called disinformation the reports about offensive preparation in Donbass. A new external player, Turkey, intervened in the aggravated conflict. Volodymyr Zelensky went there on Saturday, April 10. During the visit, mainly military contracts were discussed.
