Military inspectors in March 2014?
The OSCE "mission" seen near Crimea in early March seems to be a hoax. Ukraine invited a number of intelligence officers from a number of NATO countries, plus a token number of non-NATO EU members. They were then given OSCE "inspector" patches and the press was told that they are "OSCE inspectors". The Western media repeated this lie without questioning. The first real OSCE mission was a civilian mission starting work after March 21st.

There was no OSCE military mission. The team was headed by Ukraine without any involvement from OSCE. The Maidan regime had hired a professional spy team to work for them and given them a false cloak of OSCE neutrality.

The way this was achieved was through misuse of provisions of the Vienna Document from 2011. The document says that a member state may ask to send inspectors to another member state. No one wanted to inspect Ukraine. Instead Ukraine suggested that states friendly to the Maidan government request to be allowed to send inspectors; the requests would be immediately accepted. When in Ukraine the fake inspectors would be collectively known as the "OSCE inspection team." -- Petri Krohn (talk) 17:36, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Makedonia

 * Lavrov: Who staged an Illegal OSCE 'Mission' to Macedonia? - Macedonian International News Agency, 22 May 2015
 * ''"Towards the end of April, a group of 4-5 individuals from OSCE (US, UK, Turkey and Denmark) came to Macedonia and proclaimed itself to be an "OSCE Mission" despite them not having or being under an OSCE mandate. During their stay, the said individuals issued demands and requests from Gruevski's Government" stated Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during a Q&A session in the Russian Senate.

This sounds similar to the OSCE "team" that was apprehended in Slavyansk in May 2014. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 02:05, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
