This month, the number of violations of the “silence” regime in eastern Ukraine reached the highest level since July 2020, when measures were taken to achieve a ceasefire.
This is stated in the press release of the Special Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office in Ukraine and in the Trilateral Contact Group Mikko Kinnunen after the Trilateral Contact Group meeting on September 29, UA writes.
“The security situation is volatile with an average of over 250 ceasefire violations per day during September. Of special concern is the high number of civilian casualties by shelling and shooting, which in September 2021 reached the highest number since July 2020 ceasefire measures” – said Kinnunen.
According to him, the discussions in the Security Working Group “allowed the participants to voice their views of the security situation… but regrettably, it was not possible to agree on concrete measures
The Political Working Group continued its discussion related to the elaboration of a draft action plan in full compliance with the Minsk agreements and its way forward.
“I welcomed the positive fact that the Humanitarian Working Group returned to substantial discussions on the issues on the agenda. It is encouraging that participants are trying to find ways to remove the remaining blockages for opening of the new crossing points near Zolote and Shchastia of the Luhansk region” – said Kinnunen.
