Besides, the Minsk Declaration includes two resolutions concerning the situation in Ukraine.
The Resolution titled Enhancing Mutual Trust and Co-Operation for Peace and Prosperity in the OSCE Region calls “for an end to military hostilities in Ukraine, the full withdrawal of heavy calibre weaponry by both sides."
At the same time, the OSCE PA "condemns numerous serious incidents of pressure, harassment and intimidation of the SMM monitors combined with the cases of deliberate destruction of the OSCE assets taking place in certain areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions controlled by the Russian hybrid forces, and urges the Russian Federation to take practical measures to ensure the necessary security conditions for the SMM, which will prevent further escalation of the situation."
Besides, the Assembly has called on Russia “as an occupying power in the Crimean Peninsula to remove any restrictions or other impediments that affect the freedom of movement of the Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine and prevent its monitors from fulfilling their mandate.”
