We won't bomb Donbas as they did with Chechnya - Arestovych

Oleksii Arestovych, a representative of the Ukrainian delegation to the Trilateral Contact Group, considers the military solution to the conflict in Donbas to be unpromising.

He stated this to the "Dom" state channel.

Oleksii Arestovych noted that the probability of resolving the "full-scale war" in Russia was tiny, and all the talk about it on Russian propaganda resources was only an "element of information pressure."

At the same time, according to him, Ukraine also doesn't intend to return Donbas by force.

"I don't see prospects for a military solution on both sides. There will be a political and diplomatic path. We will not kill our citizens; we're not Russians. We won't bomb Donbas, as they did with Chechnya, demolishing everything there down to nothing," Arestovych said.
