Poroshenko noted that about 8,000 Russian soldiers under the command of the Russian Federation stayed in Ukraine and new military bases were deployed on the border of Russia. In addition, the Russian Federation holds permanent military trainings.
"Russia is investing much in the preparations for war, and we do not get any explanations," he said.
