On March 5, the Deputy Head of the SESU Ruslan Biloshytskyi has held a working meeting with the delegation of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, headed by DTRA Office’s Chief in the US Embassy to Ukraine Joanna Wintrol and new CP-2 Project Coordinator Frederick Williams.

Winter brings a considerable decrease in the air temperature. That’s why the procedure of crossing the demarcation line at entry-exit checkpoints in the Donetsk region has become more complicated. It’s not an easy task to cope with long roads and lines at the checkpoints when the air temperature is below zero. The greater part of visitors is pensioners and seniors. Moreover, very often families with little children, pregnant women, and people with disabilities have to cross the demarcation line, too. In order to minimize the negative impact of weather conditions and to make the process of crossing the demarcation line more comfortable, rescuers of the Donetsk region are on duty 24 hours a day at entry-exit checkpoints.
