MOSCOW, March 11. /TASS/. OSCE Secretary-General Feridun Sinirlioglu said he was aware of reports about violations committed by the organization's monitoring mission in Ukraine.
"Of course, I have heard about it," he said when asked about the information released by a former Greek ambassador to Ukraine, who asserted that OSCE staff had passed the coordinates of military positions in the areas around the cities of Donetsk and Lugansk to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
"All this does not look very serious to us and to the Greek side. I know from my colleagues, who worked in this monitoring mission, that there was no access to military zones in places where they were engaged in their activities," the official went on to say at a news conference following talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Earlier, in an interview with the Hellas Journal news website, former Greek ambassador to Kiev Vasilios Bornovas said that observers from the OSCE mission in the Donetsk People’s Republic furtively passed classified information to Ukrainian forces about the locations of formations in the Lugansk People’s Republic and the Donetsk People’s Republic, and these locations were then immediately shelled by Ukraine.
