Donetsk People's Republic announced they reserved the right to destroy drones which the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) is planning to deploy to monitor the situation in Ukraine, the DPR press service said.

"The Defense Ministry of the Donetsk People's Republic reserves the right to destroy such unmanned aerial vehicles," a statement posted on the website of the press service read Wednesday.

The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission in Ukraine will receive drones within 6-10 weeks. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said earlier this week that Russia supports the idea of equipping the OSCE monitoring mission with unmanned aerial vehicles to enhance their control of the Russian-Ukrainian border.

In light of the upcoming deployment of drones on the border the DPR Defense Ministry stressed that it is not technically possible to identify drones but the information they may carry can be intercepted by Ukraine's Special Forces.

The DPR, however, said that it was open for dialogue and cooperation with the international community and expressed hope that unarmed drones would help expose Ukraine's aggression and the humanitarian catastrophe in the country's southeast.
