On Sunday, August 25, the SMM saw that the former forward positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and of the armed formations inside the Stanytsia Luhanska disengagement area continued to be dismantled.
The OSCE SMM said this in a report, based on information received as of 19:30, August 25, 2019.

"On August 25, the SMM saw that the former forward positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces north of the broken section of the Stanytsia Luhanska bridge (15km north-east of Luhansk) and of the armed formations immediately south of the broken section of bridge, both inside the disengagement area, continued to be dismantled," the report says.

The Mission saw three members of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine with metal detectors inspecting sand and tyres south of the former forward position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It observed a crane loading tyres from the position’s walls and roof as well as onto a truck that later left the disengagement area. It also saw that sand from the former forward position was being loaded onto a truck which also left the area.

The SMM saw at least five members of the armed formations removing sand-filled tyres as well wooden logs from their former forward position and throwing them under the bridge. Near the former forward position, the SMM saw at least four members of the armed formations wearing armbands with “JCCC” written on them.

On the afternoon of August 24, the Mission saw up to six members of the armed formations wearing armbands with “JCCC” written on them on the southern edge of the broken section of the bridge and near the checkpoint of the armed formations south of the bridge, as well as up to five members of the armed formations cutting vegetation on the eastern and western side of the bridge’s broken section.
