The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has said it is ready to cooperate with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) mission and provide information on the situation in the country's east.
“An OSCE mission is in Ukraine. It is very important for us that the
mission has already begun its work. As you know, on April 17 the deputy
head of the mission has been sent to the eastern regions … The Ukrainian
anti-terrorist center and Security Service are ready to cooperate with
the mission’s representatives and more importantly, provide them with
the necessary information by allowing immediate access to all files and
facilities,” SBU spokeswoman Maryna Ostapenko said at a briefing on
Tuesday.
International observers must be allowed to “personally control
Russia’s compliance with the statements it made in Geneva regarding the
vacation of administrative buildings and surrendering of weapons by
militants,” she said.
