“The OSCE SMM publicly, objectively, factually and transparently covered the security and humanitarian situation in Ukraine.

The Mission is fully accountable for all its activities to all OSCE participating States.

Allegations of improper information sharing are unfounded,” the OSCE said on Twitter.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that a number of OSCE SMM personnel in Donbass were engaged in essentially illegal activities, which damaged the reputation of the organization.

Two employees of the Luhansk team of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) were detained on suspicion of treason.

Also, the Prosecutor General's Office of the DPR opened a criminal case against several members of the OSCE SMM.
