Advisor to the President of Ukraine Yurii Biriukov said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine took control of almost the entire «gray zone» in Donbas. He said this on the TV channel «Pryamyi».
«From the state in which we started in May 2014, two-thirds of the territory was released. Virtually the entire „gray zone“ is freed and brought under control», Biriukov said.
For example, last month the Special Operations Forces (SSO) under the cover of subunits of the 72nd brigade and in cooperation with sappers conducted an inspection and sweep of the settlement Rassadki on the Svitlodarsk arc.
