Spokesperson for the OSCE SMM Michael Bociurkiw has announced this at the briefing, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“If possible, the SMM will try to organize local ceasefires to allow innocent civilians to leave the dangerous territory,” Bociurkiw says.
According to him, few days ago the SMM observers organized a short-time temporary truce in village Pavlopil [25 km from Mariupol], but it gave people the opportunity to leave.

In particular, according to the UN, five million people have felt the effects of the armed conflict. More than one million people are displaced. The death toll now is more than five thousand. There more than ten thousand wounded and injured, the official representative of the OSCE SMM informs.
