President: Stabilization measures underway on 4,000 sq km of liberated territories

“As of now, stabilization measures have been completed in the districts with a total area of more than 4,000 square kilometers. Stabilization continues in the liberated territory of approximately the same size. Remaining occupiers and subversive groups are being detected, collaborators are being detained and full security is being restored,” President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening address.

It is very important that together with our troops, with our flag, ordinary normal life comes to the de-occupied territory, the Head of State stressed.

“As an example, in Balakliya, in Hrakove, the payment of pensions for five months at once, for the time when we simply could not make payments due to the occupation, has already been started. And all Ukrainian pensioners in the liberated territory will receive payments. Ukraine always fulfills its social obligations to people,” Zelensky said.

As reported, as of September 13, more than 300 settlements were liberated from the Russian invaders in Kharkiv region during the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
