The farther the Donbass the more the bellicose moods - Tuka

The farther the East of Ukraine is, the more bellicose moods are observed among Ukrainians. This was said by the Deputy Minister for Occupied Territories and Internally Displaced Persons Heorhiy Tuka at a press conference in Kyiv today, - the correspondent of OstroV reports.

"The farther the east the more the bellicose moods. I can tell from my own experience that the majority of those people who conditionally advocate a military solution to the issue have never been to the east of Ukraine and "zero" remains for them simply mathematical number", - he said.

Iryna Bekeshkina, the director of Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation, had earlier stated that only 18% of Ukrainians are ready for establishment of peace in the Donbass by force, presenting the results of the all-Ukrainian research.
