“Two hours before the interview, there were deputies of the Bundestag, German parliamentarians, we drove around Donetsk, and before their eyes, two shells exploded a hundred meters from the car. We were in the car together, and they saw it all.
Who is fighting for Ukraine? People who have been jumping on the Maidan for several months, people who have nothing to do at home. People, for the most part, have a criminal past. They don't need peace. The war allows them to spend their time in robbery and robbery. They are used to living without working. Ukraine does not need peace even more than we do, because, although we have lost our territory, we are trying to come to an agreement peacefully,” Zakharchenko said.
“And what should the Ukrainian authorities do with thousands of people who have been living off robbery for months now? They got their hands on weapons, how will Poroshenko integrate them into peaceful life? I do not see. The only way is to leave them here, force them to shoot, embitter us to such an extent that we will not recognize the Minsk agreements. But this won't work.
I can say this: everything that is happening now is that we are learning. We are a young republic, we learn everything, even diplomacy,” the DPR leader is confident.
"Ukraine doesn't need peace even more than we do," says Zakharchenko.
