Plotnitsky: Kiev troops may be allowed to leave Debaltsevo trap without weapons

The leaders of the self-proclaimed Lugansk and Donetsk republics will consider the possibility of providing a corridor to Kiev troops trapped in the Debaltsevo pocket, but they will not be able to leave with weapons or hardware, LPR leader Igor Plotnitsky said.

Plotnitsky said that he is not sure that Alexander Zakharchenko still has such a wish, Tass reports. 

"If the army lays down its weapons and hardware and leaves the Debaltsevo pocket, then I think that I will manage to agree with Zakharchenko on releasing them," he said.
