KIEV, March 20 – The deployment of an EU police mission or a UN peacekeeping force to Ukraine is the exclusive prerogative of the Ukrainian state, President Petro Poroshenko stated.

"This is the territory of Ukraine. And we hate the idea that any other state will decide if the United Nations' peacekeepers should be there or not. And we are very much interested, that it should be also a possibility for the European Union police mission – or in the United Nations Security Council, peacekeeping mission would be mostly represented by the European Union. We trust them, these are our partners. And we think this is a very effective way to solve the question," Poroshenko told Euronews in an interview published on the channel website.
