UKRAINE could launch a full-scale attack on the Donbass region, Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Prime Minister Denis Pushilin said today as the US called on all its citizens to leave the country.

“I do not rule out that Ukraine can attack at any time, everything in Ukraine is already ready for this. The concentration of forces at the demarcation line in Donbass allows this to be done at any time, as soon as there is a political decision,” the separatist leader said.

An invasion could be imminent, Mr Pushilin claimed, speaking about Mr Biden’s advice in which he said that the US would not help citizens that remained stranded in Ukraine as “things could go crazy quickly.”
