“Once again, the Ukrainian side has raised a question of the release of the Ukrainian hostages and granting access to them of the ICRC experts,” Olifer said, adding that the ICRC representatives have not yet gotten to the military and civilians illegally held captive in the militant-controlled areas of Donbas.
She also stressed that the OSCE admits the monitors have been recording continued live fire training in the areas of Donbas beyond Ukrainian government’s control, which is a direct violation of agreements reached last week regarding a ban on such training along the contact line.
