Those responsible for killing of OSCE observer in Luhansk region must be held accountable – Mogherini

This has been said in the statement by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini, published on the European External Action Service website on Monday.

"Our condolences go to the family of the victim and I wish a speedy recovery to others injured in this incident, which needs to be thoroughly investigated. Those responsible must be held accountable," Mogherini said.

The EU has stressed once again that full implementation of the Minsk agreements remains the basis for a sustainable solution that respects Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The European Union will continue to support the vital work of the OSCE and its Special Monitoring Mission, which must be granted full, secure and unimpeded access to all conflict-affected areas, with safety of monitors of crucial importance.
