Anti-terrorist special operation on liberation of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration lasted 18 minutes and was completed without any shot. Special Forces detained more than 60 attackers. This was started by Minister of the Interior at a briefing at the building of the Ministry of Interior of Ukraine.

"I want to emphasize skilled, "jewelry", punctual work of Special Forces. I set the task, and they coped with it," Arsen Avakov noted.

According to him, the situation in the east is not easy, so the decision about how to act in this situation was made.

"There are national interests; there are the interests of the vast majority of people, including those in the east, which require hard-line response. We will act firmly and confidently," the Minister of Interior said.
