Ukraine: Ceasefire in Shyrokyne "has been breached numerous times," says OSCE

The ceasefire in Shyrokyne "has been breached numerous times," said deputy chief of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine Alexander Hug during a press conference in Mariupol, Tuesday. Hug added that the OSCE team "felt the rumble and the Earth shaking" due to the use of heavy mortars and artillery during their visit to the village over the weekend. The Deputy Chief Monitor of the OSCE mission also recalled several times when members of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR/DNR) were prevented from entering the village. Hug went on to urge both sides of the conflict to provide OSCE monitors with access to Shyrokyne at all times in order to assess the situation in the region. Hug's remarks come after visiting Shyrokyne on Tuesday, where Russian journalist Andrei Lunev was badly injured when he stepped onto a trip-wire trap.
