"There are also casualties in Sloviansk due to air strikes. Five people have been killed. My condolences to their families. Nine have been injured. The Russians have damaged ordinary residential buildings, the consulate building and cars.
These are brutal attacks on civilians, for which the Russians must be held accountable. Russia has long since ceased to respect any international norms or human rights. They are interested only in continuing the killings. It is important that our partners also fully understand that the protection of lives depends on them too. Missiles for the ‘Patriot’ system are the number one priority," he concluded.
