I try to follow the ceasefire violations the OSCE monitors. They are mostly from the Ukraine side aimed at Donetsk. There is a reporting lag which is frustrating to me.
I would suppose removing those who are monitoring the doings at the LOC would assist a party wishing to engage in a False Flag.
The OSCE has a lousy reputation in Ukraine....they aren’t what they profess themselves to be.

I am completely familiar with these reports and you are spreading misinformation. Please post a link proving your claims, and not from some stupid fookin blog. There is no such daily report that lays blame for ceasefire violations. It is impossible for them to do so since: (1) Russians routinely chase out the OSCE in their attempts to investigate ceasefire violations, (2) all the OSCE can report anyway is that they heard explosions, which typically are followed up by reports in other sources of dozens of injured Ukrainians every other day because Ukrainian positions are constantly bombarded.
When the OSCE DOES lay blame for violations, they always point that finger firmly at the Russians with a laundry list of reasons why.
