OSCE mission again complains about limited access to all sections of forces disengagement in Donbas

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Special Monitoring Mission (OSCE SMM) again reports limited access of the patrols on all three sections of disengagement of forces and military hardware on the contact line of the warring sides in Donbas.

"Today again only limited access for OSCE SMM to Pervomaisk/Zolote, Stanytsia Luhanska and Petrivske/Bohdanivka disengagement areas - UAF, 'LPR', 'DPR' have failed to guarantee SMM's security [possible mines]. The SMM's access remains restricted in all three areas, but the Mission is able to partially monitor them," the mission said in a statement on Facebook on Tuesday.

"SMM is ready/able to monitor, but needs access. JCCC should assist in ensuring safe & unhindered access for SMM, co-ordinate demining," the mission said.
