OSCE presence in Ukraine will be restored in the coming weeks, said US Ambassador to the OSCE Michael Carpenter.

\? I think we found a way. I think that in the coming weeks, but probably not more than a month, you will see that the OSCE presence will be restored.. Well, actually now there is a small presence in Kyiv. But later it was restored on a larger scale,"

According to him, the office of the OSCE project coordinator in Ukraine will resume its work in Ukraine, which will operate at the expense of contributions from like-minded people, so the Russian Federation will not be able to veto its work..

" He will probably also be called the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Ukraine.

But they will operate at the expense of contributions from like-minded people.. Therefore, we will not demand money from the Russian Federation and it will no longer have the right to veto,” the ambassador explained..

Carpenter recalled that Russia vetoed the work of the mission in Ukraine, in particular, vetoed both the border observation mission, and the Special Monitoring Mission, and the Office of the Project Coordinator.

" Because it is absolutely beyond human decency in view of the ongoing war,"
