Commissioner: By banning the activities of the OSCE SMM in the ORDO, the Russian administration is trying to hide war crimes

The occupation administration of the occupied territories of Donetsk region declared the activities of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission illegal.

Representatives of the Mission must leave the territory of the pseudo-republic by April 30, remove the property of the organization and fulfill all financial obligations on the territory of the "DPR".

The unarmed OSCE civilian observer mission is responsible for monitoring and reporting on the human rights and humanitarian situation both in the Donbas conflict zone and throughout Ukraine.

By banning the mission in the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk region, representatives of the criminal administration of the Russian Federation are trying to hide the traces of their war crimes and confirm a conscious choice in favor of further aggressive war against Ukraine.
