Putin said that he supported the initiative of Peter Poroshenko on the conduct of the police of the OSCE mission to the elections in the Donbass.
According to Putin, the remaining participants objected “not because I don’t want to help Peter Alekseevich, but because the OSCE never did, she has no such experience and no people, no practice of any police missions”.
Putin added that Moscow offer Poroshenko not believe police mission, and the ability for people organizing elections in the Donbass, to be present at sites with a service weapon. As explained by the President of Russia, opponents of the proposal believe that “it can provoke unknown person on the use of weapons against armed people,” and the strength of the OSCE observers that they “represent a solid, universally recognized international organization, and they themselves are not armed.”

Elections only after the Ukrainian-Russian border in the Donbass will be monitored by the police mission of the OSCE, it was stated by Petro Poroshenko in an interview to several channels, including “1+1”. The President said: there are only two alternatives to the Minsk agreements. This is either a military solution to the conflict, or the rejection of the occupied territories. Both for Ukraine is unacceptable.
