Donetsk Regional Administration's personnel were moved from Donetsk to Mariupol, a city in Donetsk region, in keeping with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's instructions, Mariupol City Council said in a posting on its Web site.
Head of Donetsk Regional Administration Serhiy Taruta arrived in Mariupol on Friday afternoon, the posting said.
“Mariupol’s local authorities provided an office for [Donetsk]
Regional Administration’s personnel, after which the [Donetsk] governor
held his first working meeting. [Mariupol] Mayor Yuriy Hotlubei briefed
the governor on the current situation in Mariupol, the operation of
municipal companies and budget-related issues,” the posting said.
