OSCE representative blames both sides for violation of Donbas truce

The Donbas ceasefire is being violated by both parties to the conflict, said Martin Sajdik, a Special Representative of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

All parties are violating the commitments they assumed earlier, and have been urged by the coordinator of the working subgroup of the Trilateral Contact Group on Ukraine to cease fire, especially in light of the increased number of casualties and incidents involving OSCE SMM [Special Monitoring Mission] monitors, Sajdik told reporters in Minsk on Wednesday.
