VIENNA (Reuters) - A Russian ambassador said on Monday it had been "extremely irresponsible" to send international military monitors to eastern Ukraine, where they were detained by pro-Russian rebels last week.
Andrey Kelin, Moscow's ambassador to the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), said however it would be a good step towards easing the conflict to release the seven European monitors, who are being held in the city of Slaviansk.
