The Ukrainian Armed Forces could have withdrawn from their positions in Donbas and launched a strike on Kyiv, but this was prevented by the arrest of former negotiator Volodymyr Ruban, accused of plotting to assassinate President Poroshenko.

Deputy Minister for Occupied Territories Georgy Tuka announced this on the air of the 112 Ukraine TV channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
