OSCE unable  to monitor situation in Donbas round the clock

The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) says it is not patrolling the action area in Donbas at nighttime due to lack of visibility and for security reasons, but is monitoring the entire territory round-the-clock using technical devices.The OSCE SMM is determined to patrol, monitor and verify disengagement in the areas agreed near Stanytsia Luhanska, Zolote and Bohdanivka-Petrivske," the OSCE SMM said. "The Mission can only effectively support the disengagement process through verification if there is safe, secure and unconditional access to the disengagement areas for the SMM, which has been frequently denied," the report said.
