Deputy Minister for Temporary Occupied Territories and Internally Displaced Persons of Ukraine Yuri Grymchak assumes that in 2018 the entire Donetsk region will return under the control of Ukraine, according to Radio Liberty,.
"I think Donetsk region in the next year will return to Ukraine in one form or another. And most likely with the participation of peacekeepers.
There will be an interim administration, disarmament of militants, Russian troops will come out and mercenaries will come out, "he said..
So, according to Грымчака, in 2018 the Russian Federation will not finance the militants of certain districts of Donetsk and Lugansk regions. "Since the beginning of the year, I personally stated that in 2018 Russian troops will leave the territory of the ORLLO. I was asked on what grounds I'm saying this, and I replied that I have information that there will not be funding in 2018. Today's information is only confirmed, "- said Grymchak.
