Earlier, parliament-appointed Minister of Interior Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov stated that the situation in Luhansk, Donetsk and Kharkiv oblasts, where mass rallies took place, could be settled within 48 hours by political means or by applying force. “I believe the solution for this crisis will be found within 48 hours,” he said. Avakov added that the Interior Ministry’s raid regime “throughout the three oblasts has not been cancelled, and we can carry out all the planned actions in any moment”. “There are two options, two extremes — political settlement and use of force. We are ready for both ones. The question is that, in my view, everything must go on like in Kharkiv,” he added.
