An active phase of an antiterrorist operation in the eastern regions of Ukraine has been resumed, Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister Vitaliy 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, Sloviansk, and other cities of the Donetsk
and Luhansk regions,” Yarema told journalists in Kyiv on Wednesday.

At the same time, Yarema noted that the law enforcers did not take active steps last night.
