KYIV. April 23 (Interfax) - An active phase of an antiterrorist operation in the eastern regions of Ukraine has been resumed, Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Yarema said.
"In line with the acting president's directive, the antiterrorist operation is continuing. Its active phase was suspended during the Easter holidays, but the active phase has been resumed now. Law enforcement agencies are working on eliminating all groups that are acting today in Kramatorsk, Slovyansk, and other cities of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions," Yarema told journalists in Kyiv on Wednesday.
