Yatseniuk said that the Russian Federation has set a goal to split Ukraine
Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk in an interview to Ukrainian TV channels said that the Russian Federation is willing to split Ukraine and tries to achieve this in different ways.
"Russia wants the collapse of Ukraine through quasifederal device" - said Yatsenyuk.
"We will hold local elections, but remove their thugs with guns and resume the Ukrainian Central government and then We will hold the elections," - said Yatsenyuk. According to him, the Ukrainian authorities do not want to "legitimize" militias " through local elections, which are illegal, if there are Russian terrorists."
"They (the militia) will now begin to withdraw the troops and to take fire, but this does not mean that these attacks will not be renewed," said Yatsenyuk.
He also said that the local elections in the Donbass will be held if the fighting in the Donbass will stop.
Moscow has stated many times that is not a party to domestic conflict, not supplying the militia military equipment and ammunition and is interested in Ukraine rather overcame political and economic crisis. In the capital of Russia noted that all charges against her on as if the intervention in the Ukrainian crisis unsubstantiated.
