DPR Vice-Premier: Truce between militia, Ukrainian authorities is impossible
MOSCOW. July 9 (Interfax) - A truce between the Ukrainian authorities and the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) militia is impossible, the self-proclaimed republic's Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Purgin said.
"First of all, there are hostages. Both sides act unceremoniously," he said, adding that about 400 militiamen were missing.
Another reason why a truce is out of the question is the absence of humanitarian corridors, Purgin said. "For this alone Poroshenko must be tried in The Hague," he stressed.
In his words, the deployment of an OSCE monitoring mission in southeastern Ukraine will be a great victory.
"Ukraine is misinforming the world. For example, nobody knows that Kyiv has officially cut off the supply of drugs and operations on the wounded are sometimes done without narcosis. No one says that trucks loaded with humanitarian aid are stranded on the Russian border and Ukraine does not let them in. They keep silent about the Ukrainian army's attempt to cut off water supply to two million people. It is very hard to tell these things to the world when the world is not here," Purgin emphasized.
As to Dnipropetrovsk Region Governor Ihor Kolomoyskyi who actively supports the Ukrainian National Guard, Purgin said he was "a condemned man."
"His own Mossad will kill him. He is a turncoat Jew who tangled up with the Nazi. He orchestrates a Russian genocide here, and it will be problematic to refer to the Holocaust later on," he said.
In the opinion of Purgin, Ukraine "does not need people so it bombs and stops at nothing. One could talk about federalism three months ago, and now a compromise is unattainable," Purgin said.
In the opinion of the DPR vice-premier, the situation would "grow tougher" day after day.
