MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The liberation of Maryinka makes it possible to more effectively protect Donetsk from the Ukrainian armed forces, the minister said, adding that this development of events weakens the defense of the Ukrainian military and gives the Russian armed forces additional opportunities for further action.
The Russian armed forces have completely taken control over the settlement of Maryinka in the Donetsk People's Republic, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on Monday.

"In the course of active offensive operations... [Russian troops] today have completely liberated the settlement of Maryinka southwest of Donetsk," Shoigu said in a report to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Shoigu on the Russian military taking control of the city in the Donetsk People's Republic and asked him to convey words of gratitude to all personnel who took part in the fighting at various times and stages.
"I would like to congratulate you. This is a success. Pass on the words of gratitude to all the staff, fighters who took at different times and at different stages," he said.
Taking control of Maryinka will allow Russian troops to push enemy combat units away from Donetsk, Putin added.
"In fact, there are at least two positive effects here. The first is that we are pushing enemy combat units away from Donetsk," the president said.
