Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said it is important to ease the minds of residents of Russia-occupied territories of Donbas and making their lives easier.

"It is important to return our people, who live in Russia-occupied areas, mentally. That means stable pensions, comfortable border crossings. There are many issues," the president said on Friday in Kramatorsk during a ceremony introducing new Donetsk Regional State Administration head Pavlo Kyrylenko.
