The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) has reported limited access to the Stanytsia Luhanska disengagement area due to the presence of mines and absence of security guarantees.

"Limited access to Stanytsia Luhanska Disengagement area - no security guarantees [mines & booby traps]. SMM ready/able to monitor, but prevented," the OSCE SMM said in its report posted on Facebook on Friday.

Earlier on Friday, the OSCE SMM reported limited access for its patrols to the Petrivske/Bohdanivka disengagement area, also due to the absence of security guarantees. "UAF, 'DPR' have failed to guarantee SMM's security [possible mines]. SMM is ready/able to monitor, but needs access," the report said.
