 Supporters of the "Donetsk people's republic" said they would vacate two floors and a conference hall in the Donetsk regional administration building. The Donetsk people's republic's media committee head Oleksandr Khriakov said on Tuesday that an agreement has been reached to vacate two floors and a conference hall. "Details are not known to me. Talks are on with government executives," he told the press.

 The work of the most important state administration departments will be restored, he said. “The most vital government functions, including justice, housing utility services, social welfare and the budget, will resume work,” Khriakov said.

Reports said earlier that the Donetsk regional government headquarters were captured by protestors on April 6 and remain under their control.
