The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission said it had not received security guarantees for the Ukrainian checkpoint in a pilot security zone, the town of Zolote in Luhansk region.
“No security guarantees for the SMM at the government-controlled checkpoint near Zolote – the road is mined. The OSCE SMM is ready and able to monitor, but prevented,” the OSCE SMM said on Twitter on Friday.

The SMM reiterated its readiness and ability to monitor the ceasefire in the security zone but said its work was being “hindered.”
Members of the Trilateral Contact Group signed the Framework Decision on Disengagement of Forces and Hardware in three Donbas areas, near Zolote, Stanytsia Luhanska and Petrovske, on September 21. The disengagement zones are due to be at least two kilometers deep and two kilometers wide. The OSCE SMM is due to place stationary observation posts in the three designated locations.
