Martin Sajdik, the OSCE Special Representative, called the east of Ukraine one of the most mined areas in the world.
“The working group on security discussed issues of compliance with the ceasefire, the withdrawal of forces and means, as well as demining. It was noted that the east of Ukraine has become one of the most mined areas in the world,” – Sajdik said at a briefing on Wednesday after the meeting of the Trilateral Contact Group on the settlement of the conflict in the Donbass.
For this reason, the coordinator of the security group Ertugrul Apakan “stressed the importance of the so-called humanitarian demining and a systematic approach to it,” – the OSCE Special Representative continues.
We recall that the problem of demining the Donbass is quite acute. Due to the constant violations of the ceasefire, it is very difficult to clear the territory.
