The State Treasury Service of Ukraine has resumed the settlement of payments and social payments in Donetsk region, reads a report of the service issued on Friday.

"The department of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) in Donetsk region, with the help of law-enforcement agencies has taken all of the required measures to secure bank payments on the territory of the region," the treasury service said.

As reported, State Treasury Head Tetiana Sliuz on Friday morning said that the State Treasury Service of Ukraine since Friday, May 16, had been deprived of the possibility of settling payments in Donetsk region due to a decision of the NBU to disconnect the electronic payment system, which was made after a threat by separatists to attack the territorial department of the NBU in Donetsk.

However, the NBU almost at once resumed the operation of the system.
