Head of LPR Igor Plotnitsky: We wanted peace, but we were forced in war

War was forced to the people of Donbass by the Kiev authorities, considers the Head of the Lugansk People's Republic Igor Plotnitsky. He stated this on air of the program 'the Republic Birth. Events. Facts. Persons' of the 'Lugansk 24' TV channel.

The Head of the Lugansk People's Republic answered the question 'Whether there was a chance to resolve the situation in April, 2014 peacefully?'

There is always a chance to solve the conflict peacefully.  I have to resort for example of family. Some families get divorced peacefully, some violently. Some countries disperse peacefully as the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Some unite peacefully as the Western and East Germany. We hoped that nobody will shed blood of their own people. We understood that there would be shouts that there would be anything, but only not blood. Because we underestimated, didn't understand all the depth of an abyss in which there had been our opponents, there were temporarily occupied our territories.

In spite of the fact that in the spring of 2014 the people of the Lugansk region supported the peace solution of the conflict, demanded to respect opinion of the population, to hold historical memory, insisted on speaking Russian in the Lugansk region and carrying out federalization of Ukraine, the Kiev authorities didn't come for negotiations with representatives of the public and forced Donbass in war.

We wanted peace, but none of our opponents even kept in mind peace. They went over corpses, on blood. Confirmation to that is both Odessa, and Sloviansk.
