OSCE SMM's Hug: Easter is a time of renewal and hope. This Easter, the sides have an opportunity to restore hope, give true expression to their beliefs and traditions Ukraine

Hug: Last week in Travneve I met many people, cut off from graves of their loved ones and churches in nearby Holmivskyi by mined roads and fortifications. They, like thousands of others, must be allowed to travel and to celebrate Easter; there must be a safe access to roads

OSCE SMM's Hug: Of immediate concern are thousands of people who will be travelling during Easter period to visit family and to visit graves after Easter. People must be permitted to travel in safety

OSCE Hug: Mine clearance and marking need to start in earnest now. The sides recognised this and have indeed committed to doing so as far back as September 2014 when they signed paragraph 6 of the Minsk Memorandum

Hug: Even when ceasefire is fully complied with, mines and UXO will slow down if not prevent return of intern.displaced persons. Many IDPs from Shyrokyne want to return home but can't. Shyrokyne like hundreds of other settlements along contact line is ringed by landmines

OSCE Hug: Last year SMM recorded 145 victims of mines and unexploded ordnance; 20 were children. One of the latest victims this year - a young Ukrainian de-miner Anatoli, who was injured as he helped de-mine the access road to the Donetsk Filtration Station

OSCE Hug: Yesterday was International Day for Mine Awareness. It reminds that explosive remnants of war: landmines and unexploded ordnance pose a threat to population. Mines and UXO will not disappear automatically, the sides need to act Ukraine IMAD2018

OSCE's Hug: In 3 days people all across Ukraine will come together to celebrate Easter and many things, including hope, hope for a better future, hope that despite past failures peace is possible.

Hug: The recommitment to ceasefire has brought results. Since 30 March SMM recorded 1,721 ceasefire violations. There were over 5,000 ceasefire violations last week, it's a progress compared to this time last year. But for people in Donbas this progress is too slow

OSCE's Hug: It's the 7th day since 30 March when the sides recommitted to ceasefire one more time, but for people in Donetsk and Luhansk regions the suffering continues. For many of them the basic necessities of life water, gas, electricity remain absent or problematic
