2-MINUTE FIRE IS NOT A VIOLATION OF CEASEFIRE

Politics

“The death of a soldier is already too much for us, especially if the soldier on temporary military service died from the shot of a sniper,” Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk, personal representative of the OSCE CiO said in an interview to the agency “Trend”. He also mentioned that periodically tension is noted on the border.

The interesting thing about the interview is the way the OSCE representatives record the facts about the violation of ceasefire, that is to say, the criteria of violation. “We do not have clear facts about the violation of ceasefire. We take the figures made public by the Ministries of Defense. The fact of violation of ceasefire is recorded if there are victims or if the fire lasts at least 20 minutes,” Andrzej Kasprzyk mentioned.

He voiced confidence that the current year can be that of the settlement of the conflict as there are no elections in either country this year.
