Weapons and ammunition which Ukrainian militants have stolen from ammunition depots and Several dozen missing surface-to-air missile systems

OSCE military observers visits to Crimea must be sanctioned by Crimean authorities, not Russia - FM

The Russian Foreign Ministry has expressed surprise at US envoy to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Daniel Baer's call on Russia to facilitate the OSCE military observers' unrestricted movement in the Crimea.

"The wording of the call which has apparently been referred to the wrong address, is quite surprising.

Our position is that any of the OSCE's monitoring activity must be agreed upon with the legitimate Crimean authorities," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a commentary circulated in Moscow on Monday.

"Another surprising thing is that Mr. Baer has not mentioned the fact that this issue has been discussed in the OSCE framework already.

It is true that some of the OSCE's member-countries have sent their military observers to Ukraine at the request of the Kiev regime.

In this connection, the Russian side officially informed all of the OSCE member-states back on March 5 that

it has not allowed visits to the Russian military installations located in the Crimea, given the current force-majeure circumstances,"

the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

"We hope the American diplomats will pay more attention to truly dangerous and unpredictable incidents, including

the uncontrollable spreading of weapons and ammunition which the militants have stolen from ammunition depots, and

also to reports about

several dozen missing Igla portable surface-to-air missile systems,"

it said.
