So there is plenty of work for bomb disposal teams. It might take them another month or two here."<br/> <br />Kiev said it would act quickly to seize back more territory from the rebels.<br/> <br />This city, along with the former rebel stronghold of Slaviansk, speak volumes for a Ukrainian victory.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (Russian) 76- YEAR OLD SLAVIANSK PENSIONER, IVAN POPOV, SAYING:<br/> <br />"It is quiet. Nobody shoots. Nobody scares anyone."<br/> <br />Rebels were seen retreating from Slaviansk last weekend, something President Petro Poroshenko called a turning point in the conflict.<br/> <br />Now that the city is under the Ukrainian Army's control, relieved residents are trying their best to return to normal life.
