Head of region: 45% of territory of Donetsk region is controlled by Ukraine

45% of the territory of the Donetsk region is controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was announced in an interview with UNIAN by the head of the Donetsk regional military-civil administration Pavel Kirilenko.

“The Russians hoped that Lugansk would be captured on May 9, and Donbass is somewhere in June. And, I remind you that the supply of high-precision weapons in May still did not even talk.

.

The fact that the Russians could not realize their plans, there are many components. The army, a developed powerful line of defense and weapons provided by partners – the main factors that allow us to control 45% of the territory of the region, ”Kirilenko noted.
