LPR separatists denied OSCE observers access to Zolote
Members of the so-called Luhansk People's Republic once again did not allow the OSCE observers to monitor the situation in the Pervomaisk-Zolote region, as reported on the Facebook page of the Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) of the OSCE.
“The LPR denied access to the Pervomaisk-Zolote region. The Special Monitoring Mission cannot monitor the implementation of the Minsk Agreements by the parties without access to the region. The SMM is able and ready to monitor,” the statement reads.
The organization also reminded that on Sunday, the Deputy Chief of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, Alexander Hug, arrived to the Zolote region.
As is known, Zolote is one of three residential areas from which the separatists and the Armed Forces of Ukraine agreed to withdraw their forces and facilities.
