The European Union (EU) Friday slammed Russian shelling and attacks against civilian targets in Ukraine, saying they “constitute war crimes.” “The EU has made it clear that there will be no impunity for the commanders, perpetrators and accomplices of these atrocities. The EU remains committed to hold all of them to account,” said lead EU Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Peter Stano, in a statement.
This week marked another escalation in Russia’s war against Ukraine with increasingly indiscriminate and bloody shelling of civilian areas. Missile and drone strikes targeted again Odesa and the capital Kyiv, he said.
This comes in addition to Russian indiscriminate attacks on civilian infrastructure in Kherson region using heavy artillery, hitting notably a large supermarket, railway station and a petrol station.
“This reckless killing of civilians and destruction of civilian infrastructure must stop immediately,” Stano stressed.
