Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has refuted reports by Russian media about Kyiv allegedly planning to carry out offensive operations or acts of sabotage at chemical plants in eastern Ukraine.
He said this in a post on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.
"We categorically refute Russian disinformation reports on Ukraine's alleged offensive operations or acts of sabotage in chemical production facilities. Ukraine does not conduct or plan any such actions in the Donbas. We are fully committed to diplomatic conflict resolution only," Kuleba said.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said on February 18 that Ukraine does not intend to take any military action against certain areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions or Crimea, as it saves the lives of its citizens.
