KIEV (Sputnik) – Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Friday said he would do everything possible in order to speed up the process of deploying peacekeepers to the country’s eastern regions.
“A UN support office will be opened in Ukraine and their first task will be to study the possibility of deploying peacekeepers…I’ll do everything in order to speed up this process,” Poroshenko said during a press conference.
The idea to deploy foreign military forces in Ukraine has been avidly discussed since mid-April. Poroshenko earlier called for sending UK peacekeepers and a UN mission to the war-ridden eastern regions.
