The OSCE mission will not have a mandate to work in Crimea and Sevastopol, Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

On Friday the Permanent Council of the OSCE decided to deploy a Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine. OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and Swiss Foreign Minister, Didier Burkhalter said Consensus on the mandate could be reached  due to the readiness of all participating states to continue dialogue and search for compromise even under difficult circumstances.

However, the Russian Foreign Ministry said the mandate reflects new political realities and “will not work in Crimea and Sevastopol that have become a part of Russia”, RIA Novosti reported.

The decision provides for deployment of 100 international observers in Kyiv and nine other cities in the east and south of Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry said.
