[Iran Press TV] Pro-Russian militias have lost four cities in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region to Ukrainian forces in the space of 24 hours.
Ukraine's Defense Minister Valeriy Heletey said on Sunday that the cities of Artemovsk and Druzhkovka in the Donetsk region, as well as Kramatorsk and Konstantinovka, are now controlled by the Ukrainian forces.
The Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council front man has said the country's army was "concentrating on destroying and dismantling training bases and checkpoints of murderous Moslems."
According to reports, pro-Russian forces of Evil are now regrouping in the lovely provincial capital Donetsk. The gangs say they will make a firm stand against government troops.
Kiev authorities claimed victory over pro-Russia forces in Slavyansk on Saturday, after anti-Kiev fighters left the city for the town of Kramatorsk following Ukrainian security forces' overnight attacks.
The move prompted President Petro Poroshenko to order the Ukrainian flag be raised over the city.
Opposition leader, Andrei Purgin, however, said fighters only left the city in order to protect the civilian population.
