OSCE observers stopped patrolling with drones in the ATO area.
Observers of the OSCE SMM has stopped flying unmanned aerial vehicles and medium-range missiles in the Donbas.
This was stated by first Deputy Chairman of the SMM OSCE in Ukraine Alexander hug, writes UNIAN.
“Restrictions have reduced the geography of our patrol, and led to the termination of flights by our unmanned aerial vehicles medium range. All this implies that we are unable to monitor and report on the facts, including about the violations to the extent that we used to do” – he said, explaining that the observers had limited patrols in the Donbass after the explosion of a car of the OSCE occupied near Prishib village in the Luhansk region.
Hug also noted that last week was the fifth in a row, when observers saw a decline in the number of violations of silence regime in Donbas, however, the hallmark of the “conflict” is its unpredictability and instability.
“Last week we recorded a relatively low number of violations of ceasefire regime, however, the experience shows that it can change very quickly. In particular, last week the mission had not recorded any explosion of the Minsk agreements prohibited weapons in the area of the triangle Yasynuvata – Avdiivka, Donetsk airport. If we compare the situation in the same area in early February, when we recorded thousands of explosions on a daily basis, in one moment of that protracted slaughter may again return,” he added.
