“Today, April 23, 2017, when 2 crews of the OSCE SMM were traveling along the Slavyanoserbsk-Sokolniki route in the area of the village. One observer vehicle was hit and an anti-tank mine exploded, as a result one mission representative was killed and one was injured (According to the MGB, three people were injured).
We have repeatedly informed international observers about possible provocations by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the actions of the DRG near the line of combat contact. In January of this year in the area of the village For a long time in the Slavyanoserbsk region, the crew of the JCCC was already subjected to provocative shelling by the AFU DRG from an ATGM, but then, by a lucky chance, no one was hurt.
We have also repeatedly drawn the attention of the OSCE SMM to the observance of necessary security measures when monitoring travel routes. It is known that the specified crew deviated from the main route and moved along secondary roads, which is prohibited by the OSCE SMM Mandate.
We hope that representatives of the OSCE SMM, JCCC and other international organizations will give a realistic assessment of the incident,” the message says.
