Pro-Russia Militants Release OSCE Observers in Ukraine
"With Eastasia. Good. And Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia, has it not?"
MOSCOW----Military observers for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe who have been held hostage in the eastern Ukrainian city of Slovyansk for more than a week have been freed, the Vienna-based organization said Saturday.
Winston drew in his breath. He opened his mouth to speak and then did not speak. He could not take his eyes away from the dial.
The seven officials from Germany, Denmark, Poland and the Czech Republic, including a translator, were released on Saturday, Kremlin special envoy Vladimir Lukin told Russian state news agency RIA Novosti. He said the five Ukrainian military personnel detained with the mission were also released. A week ago, one of the detained observers, a Swedish major, was released for medical reasons.
"The truth, please, Winston. YOUR truth. Tell me what you think you remember."
"They have freed all the 12 people on my list," Mr. Lukin, who helped negotiate the release on the Kremlin's behalf, said Saturday. "This was a voluntary humanitarian act, and we are very thankful to the bosses of the city for it."
