OREANDA-NEWS. The mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in the Donbas acted as a "devil's advocate". This was announced on Wednesday, March 2, by political scientist Vladimir Rogov.

“We understand that the OSCE mission is a classic embodiment of the three monkeys - “I don’t see anything, I don’t hear anything, I won’t tell anyone anything.” How many crimes have been committed in the Donbass by the regimes of Petro Poroshenko (ex-president of Ukraine) and Vladimir Zelensky (the current president of Ukraine) under the control of the regimes of Petro Poroshenko (ex-president of Ukraine) and Volodymyr Zelensky (the current president of Ukraine) in eight years, they were only the devil's advocate. The Kyiv regime acted as the devil,” he said.

In his opinion, the mission had to flee the Donbass, as it was becoming difficult for it to demonize Russia.

The political scientist also suggested that the flight of the OSCE is due to the fact that the mission became aware of the preparation of provocations by the security forces of the regime of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.

Earlier in the day, the OSCE Mission to Ukraine reported that its monitors had been evacuated from Kharkiv to Dnipro (formerly Dnipropetrovsk) pending further departure from the country. The monitoring team in Kherson is in hiding. The team analyzes when it will be possible to safely leave the city.

The day before, representatives of the mission left the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics. At the same time, the DPR accused the OSCE of providing Ukrainian servicemen with the coordinates of military targets in Donetsk.

Earlier, on February 28, it was reported that the OSCE mission had evacuated most of its representatives in Ukraine.

It is specified that the organization has completed the evacuation of the observers of its mission from the cities of Lvov, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Dnipro, Odessa, partially Kyiv, Severodonetsk, Mariupol, Kramatorsk.

Mission members in Kharkiv and Kherson are choosing the safest time to evacuate, the statement said.

On February 11, against the background of the aggravation of the situation around Ukraine, Washington announced plans to withdraw its observers from the OSCE mission. The OSCE, in turn, reported that a number of participating countries withdrew their observers and within a few days they should leave the country, however, as assured by the OSCE SMM, the mission will continue to fulfill its mandate with observers deployed in 10 cities of Ukraine.
