The official spokesperson of the US State Department, Heather Nauert, retweeted the SMM report on her Twitter account, in which it was said that on June 14, six observers heard warning shots in the area of ​​​​the village of Pikuzi, 23 km from Mariupol.

The document says that the mission representatives got out of the car to check the tracks of the armored vehicle, then 50 meters away they saw two armed men, one of whom opened fire in the air.

According to SMM, those were warning shots. Ms. Nauert, in turn, wrote that "Russian subordinates used weapons to threaten OSCE monitoring mission personnel in eastern Ukraine."

“Such irresponsible statements are another attempt to confuse public opinion, to present Russia as a party to the internal Ukrainian conflict which is not the case, and to whitewash Kiev’s actions that are undermining its obligations under the Minsk agreements,” Zakharova said.

The Russian spokesman also advised the Americans to "responsibly and professionally" approach public statements and called on Washington to influence Kiev so that they start implementing the Minsk agreements.
