The acting director announced this on air on the Kyiv Channel 5. President of Ukraine Alexander Turchynov.
“Of course, the anti-terrorist operation will continue, it will produce results. Moreover, we are creating special battalions under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Seven battalions have already been formed in the east of the country, in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. A very large number of people, let’s be honest, residents of these regions, support the separatists, even support terrorists,” the politician noted.
“This makes it very difficult to conduct an anti-terrorist operation when terrorists fire from residential apartment buildings. This is a colossal problem,” emphasized Alexander Turchinov.
