In Yasynuvata, for example, on Sunday our monitors heard 186 explosions, of which 140 occurred within one hour, south-west and west of its position. The next day, Yasynuvata was quiet,\u201d said Alexander Hug, First Deputy Chief Monitor of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) in Ukraine. On Tuesday, there was an overnight shelling incident in Dokuchaievsk, controlled by the self-proclaimed \u201cDonetsk People\u2019s Republic\u201d (\u201cDPR\u201d). \u201cUnpredictability is driven by the dangerous proximity of the sides in key locations along the contact line,\u201d added Mr. Hug.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander Hug expressed a particular concern that there is a serious risk to civilians crossing the contact line in Stanytsia Luhanska, Luhansk sector. \u201cOn Monday, for example, an explosion occurred just 300 m from the bridge as people crossed the river. On Tuesday night, we recorded approximately 30 explosions in the vicinity of the bridge,\u201d said the SMM First Deputy Chief Monitor. He added that despite the obvious risk on Tuesday morning there were over 600 people waiting to leave or to enter government-controlled areas.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Hug emphasized that disengagement was one of the key ideas that emerged from the Normandy 4 meeting in Berlin last week. \u201cAccording to OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Foreign Minister Steinmeier, the participants agreed on, among other things [and I quote]: \u201cThe disengagement of forces along the line of contact with a view to establishing demilitarised zones with precise coordinates and deadlines\u201d. Its importance was underlined by Minister Steinmeier,\u201d reminded Mr. Hug. According to him, disengagement in the areas of Stanytsia Luhanska and Zolote-Popasna is a matter of priority. \u201cIf the violence was to stop there, the crossing route in the latter could be finally opened, and people could cross in safety,\u201d he explained. Mr. Hug also reminded of an urgent necessity to start more active demining action. \u201cLatest UN figures suggest that over two thirds of civilian casualties in Donbas are currently caused by mines and unexploded ordnance,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor all of this to work, we need to have a functional Joint Centre for Control and Coordination (JCCC),\u201d stressed Alexander Hug. \u201cWe need to \u2013 alongside the JCCC \u2013 to coordinate our future efforts in line with the Normandy 4 outcomes\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unexpected violence and closed check point in Luhansk sector \u2013 weekly updates on behalf of OSCE.
