Zelensky: OSCE SMM should report "real situation" in Donbas

The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission should record all violations and the real situation in eastern Ukraine, says President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. "We expect verification to be honest and powerful. We want the OSCE mission to record every step, every violation, every shot, every loss of life among Ukrainian citizens. The most important thing for me is that all citizens – citizens of Ukraine, Europe, Russia – see what is really happening," Zelensky said at a joint press conference after a meeting with President of the Slovak Republic Zuzana Čaputová, the press service of the head of state wrote. The president emphasized that the OSCE SMM should record all violations of international law.

"I would very much like the OSCE to fix all these violations, and that all these violations be covered by the media of all countries in the world," Zelensky said. He also thanked the OSCE SMM staff who risk their lives to help Ukraine. As UNIAN reported, at a joint press conference with President of the Slovak Republic Zuzana Čaputová Zelensky said that "ending the war and the de-occupation of all Ukrainian territories" is his main mission as head of state.
