Seven international military observers taken captive in eastern Ukraine a week ago have been released.
Five Ukrainian officers captured with the observers, who are linked to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, were also freed.

And with their release the Great and All-Powerful Oz, sorry Putin, deserves to be roundly denounced because he didn't pick up the phone and give the order to that all-encompassing unified singular group known as the pro-Putins to release them earlier.
What is that you say??? ... they're not pro-Putins??? ... they're pro-Russians??? ... how can you be so naive, everyone knows that pro-Russians are all really pro-Putins???
And you say the pro-Putins aren't an all-encompassing unified singular group??? ... surely you can't be serious, it's obvious to all right-thinking folk that they all walk in rabid lockstep to the Great and All-Powerful's whims, and only his whims???
