Comprehension give them run of the base grounds still in Ukrainian hands. Reproduction

During the ordeal, the colonel gave reporters a run of the base grounds still in Ukrainian hands, and held impromptu news conferences in front of brigade headquarters and the hospital for medical patients.

What is run of the Base Grounds? What is the word in the phrase that breaks it down, please? Do I understand that line if I change it a little bit by adding some words that help me tie things together to make the connection more obvious: the run of the base grounds THAT WERE still in Ukrainian hands?

What is the truth behind “Innocent”?
