The sides in the conflict in eastern Ukraine have not pulled all heavy weapons back from the contact line, Deputy Chief Monitor of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) to Ukraine Alexander Hug has said.

The sides' inability to withdraw weapons is obvious, and monitoring results show that information on weapons withdrawal does not coincide with the actual state of affairs, by around 30% on both sides, he said at a press briefing in Kyiv on Thursday.
