The Chonhar Peninsula in Henichesk district of Kherson region, which was earlier not fully controlled by Kyiv, has come completely under Ukraine's control, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said.
"Chonhar is fully under our control," Poroshenko said via Twitter.
The Chonhar Peninsula is linked with the Crimean Peninsula with a railway and automobile bridges.
At the present time, a Ukrainian border checkpoint has been set up in the village of Chonhar on the peninsula. Until recently, there had also been a Russian border checkpoint near the Ukrainian one.
