The European Union on Wednesday condemned the “heinous and barbaric” deadly attack by Russia on a market in east Ukraine.
“Russia continues terrorising Ukraine’s civilian population. Today’s heinous and barbaric missile attack on a market area in Kostyantynivka in Donetsk region killed at least 16 people, including a child and injured dozens others,” a spokesperson for the bloc said in a statement.
“This attack follows an escalation over the past months of missile and drone attacks all over Ukraine, especially on civilian objects, killing and wounding more than 410 civilians over the past two weeks alone.”
Ukrainian officials said at least 17 people at a market in east Ukraine Wednesday died in the attack that President Volodymyr Zelensky described as deliberate.
Projectiles tore through the centre of Kostiantynivka — a town of nearly 70,000 people in the Donetsk region — in one of the deadliest strikes in weeks.
