Russia Not Given Any Chance to Solve Situation in Ukraine Peacefully: Putin
Russia would have used any opportunity to iron out the situation in Ukraine by peaceful means, but it had not been given any chance to do this, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday, TASS reports.
"If there had been at least one chance to solve this issue by other, peaceful means, we would have certainly used this chance. But we were not given this chance, simply not," Putin said at a meeting with Artyom Zhoga, the father of Vladimir Zhoga, also known as Vokha, the commander of Sparta battalion who was killed in Donbass.
Russia had no other choice, Putin stressed. The president said that the Russian troops "are fighting bravely, heroically and professionally." "All the plans are being implemented. The result will be achieved - there is no doubt about this," the president stated.
Zhoga assured Putin that the servicemen will continue making every effort to "accomplish the mission." "We will certainly win, we will do our utmost," he vowed, thanking Putin for support on behalf of all citizens of the Donetsk People’s Republic.
