MOSCOW, April 11. /TASS/. Russian units have significantly improved their positions in the Maryinka and Gorlovka directions, Acting Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic Denis Pushilin said on Tuesday.

"Our guys here proceed <...> dynamically. The tire-repair works is not a big enterprise, but the enemy has built quite a stronghold there: it caused our units a lot of trouble. But now it is already under our control. We continue to advance at a cost," he said during a Soloviev Live TV broadcast.

"As for the Gorlovka or Maryinka directions, our guys have significantly improved their positions there," Pushilin informed.
