President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko believes that a beginning of a dialogue in east of the country is a positive fact.

“I know that the sheer fact of these consultations sparked multivalued reaction in society. There are “hawks”, who demand fast tough military actions. Others demand scale compromises “just to prevent a war”. I will answer both sides: our goal is not a war, not we, not Ukraine of its beginning. Our goal is a peace. But I stress: a peace is not at all hazards and not under all conditions. We will not hesitate to repulse adequately armed aggressor, who encroaches on unity and integrity of our state”, - said Poroshenko.
