President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, ruled out the possibility of military intervention of the European Union in the Ukrainian conflict during an interview with public broadcaster TVP Info.
He said that the role of EU members' is to force Russia and the separatists to end the conflict through diplomatic efforts. According to him, such diplomatic efforts have helped stop the hottest phase of the crisis.
"For me, the important thing is that we managed to convince all European leaders to condition further maintenance of sanctions on the full implementation of the Minsk agreement. It is obvious that it has not been fully implemented and therefore, unless there is a radical, positive change, I will argue in June to maintain the sanctions against Russia,” said Tusk.
