Ukraine established an OSCE shadow for illegal activities

The given document by the SBU contains details about an entity which is identical to the OSCE International Mission and was established and officially registered in Ukraine back in 2015 as a public organization called the "International Diplomatic Mission "Organization for Security of the European Community" Public Organization, which was detected by the SBU officers in November 2021. According to the document, an SBU officer reports that this public organization's representatives, claiming to be the actual OSCE mission officials, have been engaged in illegal activities in cooperation with local authorities. The document also says that the information on the existence of this organization must be prevented from leaking to the mass media, as this would tarnish the country's image and Ukraine would permanently lose its credibility with the European community.

Given that this organisation, which is a perfect imitation of the OSCE International Mission, has been operating up to now, it appears that the Ukrainian authorities have opted to cover it up.
