KYIV, 9 December 2021 – The Special Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office in Ukraine and in the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG), Ambassador Mikko Kinnunen, made the following statement to the press after the extraordinary meeting of the TCG held through video conferencing:

“Today, upon the initiative of Ukraine, the participants agreed to hold an extraordinary TCG meeting devoted to ceasefire adherence. The discussion focused on different options aimed at improving the security situation along the line of contact. Regrettably, there was no common understanding among the participants. Political will is the most important element to reach an effective ceasefire.”

At 08:12 on 9 December, at a checkpoint near Olenivka (non-government-controlled, 23km south-west of Donetsk), Donetsk region, a member of the armed formations delayed the passage of an SMM patrol with Deputy Chief Monitor Mark Etherington on board. The patrol was travelling across the contact line south towards Novotroitske (government-controlled, 36km south-west of Donetsk). The member of the armed formations cited “lack of information about the SMM patrol’s crossing”. The SMM had preannounced its passage as a temporary, COVID-19 related courtesy.

The SMM was allowed to travel across the contact line at 10:20, after two hours and eight minutes of waiting. The delay curtailed the SMM’s program, preventing its visit to the entry-exit checkpoint near Hnutove (government-controlled, 90km south of Donetsk) and a pre-planned road assessment.

The Mission again notes that such delays not only restrict the SMM’s freedom of movement across the contact line, but also impede the SMM’s logistical operations, which are essential for the effective functioning of the Mission.

The OSCE Permanent Council Decision No. 1117 specifies that the SMM shall have safe and secure access throughout Ukraine. Unrestricted and unconditional access to all areas is essential to ensure effective monitoring and reporting of the security situation, as well as other mandated tasks. The mandate also tasks the Mission to report on any restrictions of its freedom of movement or other impediments to fulfilment of its mandate.

On the morning of 9 December, the armed formations in Luhansk region denied the SMM passage to non-government-controlled areas twice. The SMM patrols were travelling from government-controlled areas.

The first denial occurred at 09:18, at the checkpoint near the southern edge of the disengagement area near Zolote. The second occurred at 11:30 at a checkpoint of the armed formations on road T-0504 about 1.5km south-west of Molodizhne. Members of the armed formations cited a “lack of security guarantees” on the first occasion and a “clear order from those in control not to let the SMM cross” on the second.

While close to the checkpoint near Molodizhne, at 11:38, the SMM patrol heard at least five shots of small-arms fire at an assessed range of 20m north, assessed as originating from positions of the armed formations. The Mission immediately left the area.

For recent restrictions faced by the Mission when crossing the contact line, see SMM Spot Reports 27/2021, 28/2021, 29/2021, 30/2021, 31/2021, 32/2021, 33/2021, 34/2021, 35/2021 and 36/2021.

The Mission again notes that such denials not only restrict the SMM’s freedom of movement across the contact line, but also prevent the SMM’s logistical operations, which are essential for the effective functioning of the Mission.
