Highlights

On Patrol

With dozens of OSCE SMM patrols going out every day all across Ukraine, many in high-risk areas in the east, On Patrol offers a remarkable insight not only into the work of the biggest OSCE mission on the ground – and the men and women who serve it and the wider cause of peace – but also into some of the people and issues that define Ukraine and the crisis it endures.

Women on the Contact Line

Female community leaders and female monitoring officers from the OSCE SMM build bridges between people, serving the cause of sustainable peace in often unseen but concrete, meaningful ways. Read their stories of resilience and hope.
