Russia pledges help to free Ukraine hostages

  • 10 years ago
Russia has pledged to help free a group of international observers being held hostage by pro-Kremlin separatists in eastern Ukraine who accuse them of being "NATO spies".

The Russian assurance came as the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) dispatched a negotiating team on Saturday to try to secure the release of its observers who are being held by in eastern Ukraine.
