The Armed Forces of Ukraine have taken control over the village of Novo-oleksandrivka in Luhansk region, the settlement located in the so-called "grey zone". The advance saw no violations of the Minsk agreements, the Ukrainian military say.
"[The retaking of Novo-oleksandrivka] took place a few days ago. Unfortunately, I cannot reveal details of the operation," press secretary of the ATO Headquarters, Vasyl Labai, told UNIAN.
"We are strengthening or re-building our defensive positions, while separate units can improve tactical positions in certain areas, but it is not about violating the Minsk agreements," Labai said.
