the site of the tragedy the experts during several days were subjected to
provocations of the terrorists who intended to hamper the investigators. This morning the specialists
arrived to Debaltseve where they were warned by
rebels it was impossible to move further to achieve the place with the
remnants through warfare. However, information concerning military attacks on
the territory was denied by Ukrainian military representatives. The militants refused to
guarantee security for the OSCE expert mission and relevant support in the
territory they control. The OSCE mission approved a decision to prolong their
trip to the tragedy’s site despite the potential danger in the mentioned
territory posed by uncontrolled terrorist gangs and criminal groups. State
