Leader of Sloviansk militants says OSCE monitors won't be released soon
Separatist leader in Sloviansk Viacheslav Ponomariov said a quick release of military observers of the OSCE mission should not be expected.
He told this to the German tabloid Bild in an interview on Wednesday, Ukrinform's Berlin correspondent reported.
"We are in talks, but I do not think that the release will take place today or tomorrow," he said.
According to him, on Wednesday one more OSCE representative is scheduled to arrive in Sloviansk to continue negotiations.
The self-proclaimed mayor of Sloviansk said he "still has not had any contacts with Moscow," and he is "not taking orders from Putin."
A reminder that on April 25 Sloviansk separatists seized a bus with a group of people, which included seven OSCE military monitors, in particular, three Germans, Polish, Czech, Swedish, Danish, German translator, as well as five Ukrainian militaries. Later diabetic Swedish citizen was released.
