Separatist Leader Warns Full-Scale War in East Ukraine Could Break Out at Any Moment

@G3News: A Russia-backed separatist leader in eastern Ukraine said on Monday (Feb. 7) that full-scale war could break out there at any time and he might be forced to turn to Moscow for support.

Denis Pushilin, head of the Donetsk People's Republic, said there was a high likelihood of a war that would bring huge casualties, although it would be "madness" to embrace such a conflict.

"First of all we rely on ourselves, but we do not rule out that we will be forced to turn to Russia if Ukraine, with the support of Western countries, passes a certain line," he told Reuters in an interview.
