No more ATO: name of special operation in Donbass to be changed


According to Deputy Minister of temporarily occupied territories and internally displaced persons Yuri Grimchak, the term “anti-terrorist operation will be changed.

The ATO will now be called “Operation for the protection of Ukraine”.

Mr Grymchak emphasized that the term “war” in the current situation cannot be used.

“We can call it a war. In fact, in this case we will declare war on Russia. We declare war and start getting everything the Russian military-industrial complex is to offer,” said Grimchak.

Grimchak previously said that Russia has no plans to finance the unrecognized republics of “LDPR” in 2018, and Zakharchenko and Plotnitskiy were “politely” asked to look for a new home outside of Ukraine.
