OSCE reports movement of heavy weapons out of storage facilities in eastern Ukraine
The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission has noted the disappearance of military equipment from storage facilities, as stated by the Deputy Chief of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, Alexander Hug.
“We see that weapons have been withdrawn from both sides and are now being kept where they should be. However, we are beginning to notice that the equipment is disappearing from those places. It is disappearing equally from both sides, nearly 30% of the equipment. We see that heavy weapons are appearing in zones where they should not be,” he said.
According to Hug, the monitors heard 40 rounds from a Grad-type rocket system in Debaltsevo, which is under the control of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic.
The Grad rocket launcher was also seen by the monitors in the town of Ivanovka, which is controlled by Ukrainian authorities.
