Video: inwoners Horlivka verjagen waarnemers OVE

Boze inwoners hebben de waarnemers van de OVSE verjaagd die een bezoek kwamen brengen aan de stad Horlivka die in handen is van de separatisten. Een twintigtal belaagde de waarnemers en eiste dat ze een eind maken aan het oorlogsgeweld. Toen de OVSE'ers weg wilden rijden, werden hun auto's tegen gehouden. Een man schreeuwde naar ze dat ze uit de auto's moesten komen ''zodat we die tenminste kunnen verkopen om wat te eten te krijgen''.

De OVSE heeft nog geen officiële reactie gegeven op het incident. Waarnemers worden geregeld lastig gevallen als zij hun werk willen doen.
