Defense minister, chief of General Staff visit flash points in Donbas

 “The Minister of Defense of Ukraine and the Chief of General Staff visited our positions in the areas along the demarcation line where the enemy has been most active lately. During the visit to the ‘Stanytsia Luhanska’ entry-exit checkpoint, the greatest attention was paid to the observance of the requirements and recommendations adopted by the authorities for the prevention of the spread of coronavirus,” the press service of the Joint Forces Operation Headquarters reports.

As noted, the military leadership discussed the introduction of effective measures for saving life and health of the personnel, maintaining the required level of combat capability of the units in the JFO area under the declared lockdown measures. The necessity of practical steps to prevent the spread of infection in the units during rotational activities and during the completion of tasks in crowded areas was underscored.

Commander of the Joint Forces Volodymyr Kravchenko reported on the current situation in the area, the quantitative composition and nature of the enemy's actions and cited the latest facts of violations of the ceasefire regime by the Russian-occupation troops.

In addition, during the visit, the Defense Ministry assessed the prospects for the implementation of infrastructure projects: it examined both the already created objects and those that are under construction or only at the stage of project documentation.
