LUHANSK - Members of the Special Monitoring Mission of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE SMM) have inspected the areas where weapons are stored after being removed there by the Ukrainian military and the People's Militia of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic under the Minsk agreements, an OSCE spokesperson told Interfax.

In the Luhansk Oblast, the SMM made a second visit to two Ukrainian and two LPR permanent arms storage places whose positions proved consistent with the requirements for the relevant lines of removal, and it recorded the presence of all the weapons that were registered there earlier, the spokesperson said.

On Sept. 30, Russian-separatist forces leader Igor Plotnitsky signed an addendum to the Package of Measures on the implementation of the Minsk Agreements, whereby weapons with a caliber under 100 millimeters and mortars with a caliber up to 120 millimeters, inclusively, must be removed 15 kilometers from the dividing line.
