The Donetsk regional organization of the Party of Regions (PR) demands that the government use its capabilities “to restore order.” It is said in their statement released on Facebook.

In Donetsk, PR suggested that the truce was a cunning trick from the opposition, and it “was designed to hide an aggressive plan by the militants to seize power in the country.” The PR members claimed that the opposition has moved to “lynching their political opponents”, as evidenced by the seizure of the party’s office in Kyiv.
