 Acting Head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine Serhiy Pashynsky expressed the belief that the situation in Sloviansk will be localized in the coming days.

He told reporters about this at a briefing at the Presidential Administration, a Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"As part of anti-terrorist activities, work is underway, negotiations and blocking. In the coming days, I think, the situation will be localized in Sloviansk," Pashynsky said.

He also noted that the antiterrorist operation is complicated by a large number of hostages, captured by separatists, as well as by the fact that a large number of the city population is really "zombified by the Russian propaganda."

"The only warning - many hostages and we, unfortunately, have no doubt that in any activities the terrorists will use the civilians as human shields against our special forces," Pashynsky summed up.
