Donetsk, Aug 1 – DAN. International observers can contribute to securing peace in Donbass by putting pressure on Ukraine, Donetsk Republic Militia spokesman Daniil Bezsonov said on Thursday.

“We demand that Ukraine stop provocations aimed at escalating the conflict, and ask international observers to show insistence in making Ukraine observe the effective accords,” Bezsonov said.

He said that Militia units fully observed the truce.
