Viktor Nazarenko noted: "Pursuant to the Peace Plan of the President, the State Border Service makes systemic steps to restore the state border in the area which is currently uncontrolled".

He informed the President about his meeting of October 30 with acting Head of the Border Service of Russia following which the protocol on joint control in the checkpoint Kuybysheve-Dyakovo had been signed and mechanisms of establishing joint control in the checkpoints Donetsk-Izvaryne and Matvieyev Kurhan-Uspienka had been defined.
