Ukrainian PM: Kiev to Impose Martial Law in Donbas if Ceasefire Agreement Fails




Ukraine will be forced to impose martial law in Donbas (the country’s southeastern regions), if the ceasefire agreement reached at the Minsk talks on Friday does not yield any positive results, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Sunday.

“If we talk about the ceasefire and the peace talks, when there is a peace plan, a peace plan supported by the EU, a peace plan supported by the US and a peace plan implemented by Russia, understandably, martial law is not necessary, but if this truce ends the same way as the previous truces, and not only in Ukraine, there will be no other way,” – Yatsenyuk said in an interview with the Ukrainian 1+1 TV Channel.

The ceasefire started at 15:00 GMT the same day. On Sunday, both sides accused each other of violating the ceasefire, with both independence fighters and Kiev forces claiming their innocence.
