U.S. Embassy makes statement on work of OSCE mission in Donbas

The U.S. Embassy in Ukraine urges to stop obstructing the work of the OSCE SMM monitors in Donbas.

This is said in the statement posted on the Embassy’s official Twitter page.

"Intimidation/detainment/delays of #OSCE SMM must stop. SMM’s mandate requires full, safe and unhindered access throughout all of Ukraine," the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine tweeted.

Earlier, the militants of the so-called “Donetsk People’s Republic” detained the driver of a truck with equipment for the camera of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine and held him in the village of Olenivka for more than seven hours.
