DISINFO: Europe tells the OSCE observers when to ignore shelling in Donbas
SUMMARY
The OSCE observers are not acting independently. They receive instructions from Western Europe. If Western Europe tells them: “Guys, you have not seen anything, the birds are singing, no one is shooting,” they will say: “We have not seen anything, birds are singing, we are not going anywhere!”
RESPONSE
No evidence given. The Special monitoring mission of unarmed civilian observers to Ukraine was deployed following a request to the OSCE by Ukraine’s government and was agreed by all 57 OSCE’s participating States, Russia included. www.osce.org/ukraine-smm/116879?download=true, .
