The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission has reported a decline in violations of the Donbas “school truce” ceasefire declared on Aug. 29. Nonetheless, there have been hundreds of breaches, OSCE SMM Principal Deputy Chief Monitor Alexander Hug said at a press briefing in Kyiv on Friday.
The OSCE SMM saw a 10% decrease in violations of the Minsk Accords last week, and the trend seems to have prevailed this week, Hug said.
He added that the rate started declining on Aug. 29, the day before the “school truce” took effect, though attacks continue.
The OSCE SMM has recorded at least 370 violations of the school truce since midnight on Aug. 29, and forces and hardware have yet to be disengaged, Hug said.
