(Zik) --- On
Wednesday, March 25, Donbas rebels banned the OSCE mission monitors to visit
Perevalsk, Luhansk oblast, Ukraine
army spokesman said.
“Although the visit
had been agreed with a higher rebel commander, the field CO of Cossacks refused
entry and demanded that the monitors quit,” the spokesman said.
In another
accident, the rebels near Stanytsya Luhanska levelled their guns at the OSCE
car, forcing it to move away.
