Germany's foreign minister has condemned as "revolting" the appearance
under armed guard of eight European military observers being held
prisoner by pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier says the appearance of the observers in front of
reporters in the eastern city of Slovyansk was "a breach of all the
rules" and violated the men's dignity.
Steinmeier's statement Sunday came as the pro-Russia insurgents released
one of the prisoners to representatives of the Organization of Security
and Cooperation in Europe.
Steinmeier called on Russia to pressure the separatists into releasing all of the prisoners "as soon as possible."
