The Organisation for Security and Cooperation (OSCE) in Europe will deploy drones soon as part of efforts to beef up monitoring the ceasefire in Ukraine, its chairman said on Wednesday, according to Reuters.
OSCE chairman and Swiss President Didier Burkhalter called the ceasefire a 'real opportunity' and said it should be given time to produce a political dialogue before more sanctions are imposed on Russia over its involvement in the crisis.
Calling the situation fragile, Burkhalter told an OSCE forum in Prague the security watchdog had 70 specialists in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions to monitor the ceasefire between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian separatists and was expanding that mission fast.
'Discussions are underway on possibilities of integrating, as soon as possible, national drones as an in-kind contribution by participating states in the... monitoring scheme,' he said.
'OSCE-owned drones will also be deployed soon,' he added.
