The Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Arsen Avakov, stated that there is a need for a complete blockade of Donbass (Donets Basin), which is under the control of the militia, reported the LigaBusinessInform.

“My position is as follows: The line of restriction must be completely shut down, cut from everything; this is my fundamental view,” Avakov said. “Let them walk on foot, pass with civilian cars, but they will not receive goods. Get goods from Russia!”

In his words, this is the only way that smuggling can be stopped in the area.
