Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said that the military operation in Ukraine would be stopped when Kiev regained control of Crimea and Donbas territories.
The Ukrainian president added that combat operations in the conflict zone would be carried out “for as long as it is necessary.”
Crimea seceded from Ukraine and reunified with Russia in March 2014 following a referendum, in which more than 96 percent of the peninsula’s population voted to rejoin Russia.
A month later, Kiev launched a military operation in Ukraine’s eastern regions against local independence supporters who refused to recognize the new government that came to power after a February coup.
