There is the Russian aggression in eastern Ukraine, but not the anti-terrorist operation (ATO), Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said during his speech dedicated to the 440th anniversary of Ostroh Academy in Rivne region.

“I’d like to stress that we have no ATO, we have the aggression of the Russian Federation against our independent and sovereign state,” he said, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

President Poroshenko stressed that the world should understand and recognize the fact of aggression in Donbas.

According to the president, the main purpose of Russians was to show the situation in eastern Ukraine that this was allegedly the domestic conflict within the country, where Russia was a “mediator”.
