Minefields hamper efforts to rebuild Donbas infrastructure - OSCE representative

The agenda of today's meeting included issues such as rebuilding the infrastructure in southeastern Ukraine, environmental protection, with the negotiators also pointing out the problem related to the water payments system in the breakaway parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, said Sajdik, adding that there are also difficulties caused by violation of the ceasefire. There are also demining difficulties, new minefields were discovered, some previously restored sites have been damaged, Sajdik said. The situation in southeastern Ukraine is also been made more difficult by the imposition of duties on coal transportation across the frontline and the breakup of a single railroad management system.
