Pro-Russian insurgents early on June 27 released four of eight Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) observers held hostage for more than a month in eastern Ukraine, Reuters reported.
The four international observers - citizens of Switzerland, Turkey, Estonia and Denmark - were brought by several gunmen in a van to a hotel in rebel-held central Donetsk, where they were greeted warmly by their colleagues. They were detained on May 26 in the mining town of Torez, Donetsk Oblast before being taken east to Atratsyt and then kept in nearby Pervalsk, a suburb of Alchevsk, Luhansk Oblast.
The other four observers, including a Spanish, Dutch, Russian and German national (a woman), remain rebel hostages and are being held in Luhansk Oblast. They are being kept in much harsher conditions than a previous seven-member group of OSCE military observers who were detained in Sloviansk, a rebel stronghold, on April 25 and released after a week of negotiations, an OSCE spokesperson said.
