Russian President Vladimir Putin intercepted the Ukrainian idea of ??introducing a peacekeeping contingent to the Donbass in order to embroil Europe and the United States, which practically solved the question of the supply of lethal weapons to Ukraine.

The diplomat, the expert of the "Maidan of Foreign Affairs" Alexander Khara, told about this in the commentary to "Apostrophe".

"Putin is trying to split Europeans and Americans in this matter, making it clear that if there is lethal weapons, tension can arise not only in the territory of Donetsk and Lugansk region, but also in other areas, as well as, for example, in Afghanistan, Syria. That is, it is blackmail, "- said Alexander Khara.

Thus, Putin is trying to block the decision on the supply of lethal weapons to Ukraine, which was almost adopted in the US.
