KIEV, April 10 (Xinhua) The Ukrainian military has said that it is not preparing an attack in Donbass amid escalating conflict in east Ukraine.
Media reports of a planned attack are not true and are a disinformation campaign, said Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Col. Gen. Ruslan Khomchak on Friday.
Ukraine opposes the use of force to reclaim its territories because such a move would inevitably lead to a large number of military and civilian fatalities, noted the commander-in-chief.
He said the Ukrainian Armed Forces reserves the right to respond if the situation in the combat zone gets worse. However, Khomchak stressed the situation is under control, despite a sharp escalation of hostilities in the region.
