Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said his country is “prepared for total war,” as fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian separatists continues around the rebel-held city of Donetsk.
In an interview with the German daily “Bild”, Poroshenko said, “I am not afraid of war with Russian troops.”
“We are prepared for a scenario of total war… We don’t want war, we want peace and we are fighting for European values. But Russia does not respect any agreement,” he said in the interview published on November 17.
The conflict, which has killed more than 4,000 people since April, persists despite a September 5 cease-fire.
Poroshenko said Ukraine’s armed forces were better prepared now, and Ukraine had the support of the “entire world.”
