Russian troops on Friday launched a terrorist missile attack on the centre of the Ukrainian town of Kostiantynivka in Donetsk region. The missile hit a supermarket, killing at least 14 people and injuring 44 others.
The West condemned the terror attack by the Russian Federation.
U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell have strongly condemned the latest Russian terrorist attack on Kostiantynivka.
“Russia is again attacking peaceful civilian communities in Ukraine. This time, a rocket attack on a shopping center in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, killed at least 14 people and injured 43. Russia must be held accountable for these war crimes,” Brink wrote on the X social network.
Borrell also expressed his outrage: “Russia fired again at Ukrainian civilians, hitting a crowded shopping center in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region. We support accountability for this and other Russian war crimes. Now Ukraine needs more military support to protect its cities, civilian population, and infrastructure.”
