The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) representatives in Donbas will observe the removal of military hardware with a caliber of less than 100 millimeters, provided an agreement has been signed to that effect, OSCE Special Monitoring Mission deputy chief Alexander Hug said.

If the relevant agreement is signed, the OSCE will be on the spot to observe progress, Hug told Interfax on Tuesday.

It is important to distinguish between the movement of weapons and the removal of weapons, he said. The removal requires us to make sure that the removal will not be redeployed and re-used, he said.
