France and Germany have offered to deploy drones as part of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe's (OSCE) efforts to monitor the ceasefire in Ukraine, a government official said Monday.
At a daily news briefing, French foreign ministry spokesperson Romain Nadal announced "France and Germany have proposed to provide drones aimed at monitoring the ceasefire's implementation as requested by the OSCE", Xinhua reported.
The drone deployment proposal was being discussed, he added without elaborating.
"The ceasefire is an important opportunity to find a lasting political solution to the conflict and which respects Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity," Nadal noted.
Earlier this month, the rival camps in Ukraine agreed to cease fire but fighting in eastern Ukraine continued.
