Right Sector militants disrupted the work of the OSCE Monitoring Mission (SMM) in Donbass, the observers said in a report.

Armed Right Sector members denied the SMM's access to Avdeevka, 15 kilometers North-West of Donetsk, when the group was en route to a JCCC (Joint Center for Control and Coordination) observation post.

The SMM appealed to the Ukrainian Armed Forces Major General, head of the Ukrainian side to the JCCC, but the Right Sector members persisted and said they obeyed the orders of their own commanders and "did not fall under the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces."
