France and Germany deplore the decision of the Russian Federation against the renewal of the mandate of the OSCE Border Observation Mission, established at the Russian checkpoints of Gukovo and Donetsk.
For seven years, the Mission has been providing objective information on the situation at the Russian-Ukrainian border enhancing transparency and building confidence. Its closing will irrevocably undermine the monitoring of the state border, which is provided for by the Minsk Protocol of 5 September 2014.
The establishment of the Mission and the endorsement of its mandate had been initiated by the foreign ministers of the Normandy Format with the aim of improving the security situation and strengthening mutual trust. We call on the Russian Federation to engage constructively in our joint efforts aimed at finding a lasting solution to the conflict.
“We call on the Russian Federation to engage constructively in our joint efforts aimed at finding a lasting solution to the ”
7 years of calling on Russia has produced what exactly? That’s right, zero results. Instead of trotting out spineless statement, why not try actually doing something constructive?
Amazing. I’ve independently wrote virtually the same thing as you. 😁
I guess after so long, we have become used to the meaningless statements by these cretins, and our response has never changed either. One day we might reply with a response of, “it’s about fucking time” but I wouldn’t bet a dollar on it.
I’ve pretty much lost hope of ever saying that.
‘Written’, to speak FRANKly. 😂
“France and Germany deplore the decision of the Russian Federation against the renewal of the mandate of the OSCE Border Observation Mission…”
So, here we are.
Years of blathering, years of exhausting enormous amounts of CO2, years of dialogue out the Jinjiang, years ago, slipping into the rodent’s ass as deep as possible and what fruits have these efforts brought?
I’m not saying that the OSCE mission was of any use. But, perhaps THIS will open some sleepy eyes in Berlin and Paris?
I doubt it…
