You're reading: Ukraine says it did not withdraw from Joint Control and Coordination Center

The staff of the Ukrainian military operation in the eastern part of the country has denied reports that Ukrainian servicemen withdrew from the Joint Control and Coordination Center for ceasefire monitoring and contact line stabilization (JCCC).

“There is no official confirmation of this information now. Our party to the Joint Control and Coordination Center is working in a routine manner now. In addition, we don’t have information on the Russian side’s withdrawal from the center,” Andriy Zadubinny of the Ukrainian military operation staff told Interfax.

Russian Permanent Representative to the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich had said earlier that Russia had learned about an order given to Ukrainian military servicemen to withdraw from the JCCC in Donbas.
