[Purveyor]

One of the eight European military observers held in eastern Ukraine has been released to the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), which had sent negotiators to the region.

A Reuters reporter outside the city administration building in Slovyansk said the man came out, escorted by three unarmed men, got into a white OSCE jeep and drove off.

The man is a Swedish national with diabetes, according to a spokeswoman for the pro-Russian separatists holding the group.

Earlier its members were paraded before the press by their captors who have branded them NATO spies.

Looking sombre, the leader of the mission, Colonel Axel Schneider, said its members were in good health, telling reporters “We have not been touched”.
