Washington: The majority of ceasefire violations in the Donbas occur on the territory of separatists
The OSCE confirms that the majority of ceasefire violations in eastern Ukraine occur on the territory that is under the separatists’ control, the Unites States Deputy Secretary of State, Antony Blinken stated.
The U.S Ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, quoted Blinken on Twitter as saying that the “OSCE confirms that the majority of ceasefire violations in eastern Ukraine occur on the territory that is under separatists’ control.” The White House press service also quoted Blinken as saying that “Russia continues to arm, train, guide and fight alongside separatist forces in eastern Ukraine, implementing non-traditional, hybrid tactics based on misinformation, deception and intelligence operations.”
According to him, the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine continues to document Russian advanced military systems such as TOS-1, radio-electronic warfare or radio-electronic suppression systems that aren’t available to Ukraine in the territories of Donbas that are under separatists’ control.
