The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission should be provided with free, unimpeded and secure access throughout Ukraine, including the occupied Crimea and along the entire border between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.

Foreign Minister of Denmark Anders Samuelsen stated this during the 25th meeting of the OSCE Ministerial Council in Milan on December 6.

"The OSCE SMM should be provided with free, unimpeded and secure access throughout Ukraine, including Crimea and along the entire state border between Ukraine and Russia," he stressed.

The foreign minister also condemned any actions that impede the work of OSCE observers in Ukraine and put their lives at risk.

Samuelsen also added that Denmark provided the OSCE SMM with additional funds.

“The SMM plays a key role in reporting on the conflict. And therefore, I am pleased to announce that Denmark will provide an extrabudgetary contribution worth more than EUR 550,000 for the SMM activities, in addition to our contribution of this year,” he stated.
