Burkhalter has said the OSCE had 70 specialists in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions to monitor the cease-fire between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian separatists.

ITAR-TASS had earlier quoted the OSCE as saying the drones would be used to monitor, in part, the Ukraine-Russia border.

 Kyiv accuses Moscow of either sending or allowing troops and weapons to flow across the border from Russia into Ukraine.

More international monitors plus unarmed drones will be deployed to monitor a shaky cease-fire in eastern Ukraine.

 

The announcement was made September 13 after talks between Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko and Didier Burkhalter, Swiss president and current chairman of the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

 

Poroshenko's office said the Ukrainian leader had agreed to allow the OSCE to increase the number of monitors in eastern Ukraine and to deploy drones to better monitor the September 5 cease-fire.
