“The OSCE has a mandate, according to which they move along both lines of contact in agreement with the parties. They visit the territory of the declared republics of Donetsk and Lugansk up to the border with Russia. They are there up to 20 times a week. Our proposal provides for security wherever they patrol,” Lavrov said.
He also stated that the national composition of the contingent, in accordance with UN practice, will be determined by the parties to the conflict - Kyiv, Donetsk and Lugansk.
