The United States called on Russia to withdraw its forces from Donbas.

“May was the bloodiest month this year for Ukrainian soldiers defending their country against Russian aggression: ten killed and 91 wounded. The United States stands with Ukraine and calls on Russia to withdraw its forces from the Donbas,” US State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert wrote in a Tweet Thursday.

In the past day alone, there were 37 attacks by Russian-backed militants on Ukrainian troops, including an attack on civilians.
