Activists of the unrecognized "Donetsk People's Republic" removed barricades from Lenin and Metalurhiv Streets - two main streets of Mariupol, Donetsk region, - on Tuesday afternoon, the city portal 0629 said quoting the reports of eyewitnesses.
“Traffic was restored on those roads,” it said.
Mariupol Mayor Yuriy Khotlubei said earlier he was holding negotiations with the “Donetsk People’s Republic” activists about the unblocking of thoroughfares and assured the demonstrators that the barricades were meaningless because they were not been threatened any more, the portal said.
Meanwhile, the press service of the Mariupol City Council reported the normal operation of education establishments of the city.
