The decisions of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) on the imposition of sanctions will entail an aggravation of the situation inside Ukraine, in the east of the country, but there will be no total offensive, says Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov.
"We got off the strategic hook of Russia in the energy sector long time ago. I don't think we will have anything here [exacerbation of the situation after imposing of sanctions]. Russia will respond. It will respond with provocations, destabilization within, organizing riots, will pay for them, and now it will be more difficult for them to pay," the minister said.
