“On the Russian side, it was pointed out that the continued supply of weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the European Union and its member countries was unacceptable.

It is emphasized that it is used for shelling the civilian infrastructure of settlements in Donbass, as a result of which civilians and children die, ”the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Within the framework of the dialogue, Rudenko paid special attention to the fact that the European Union ignored these facts.

Earlier, EU Ambassador to Russia Markus Ederer discussed the position of the European Union on the situation in Ukraine as part of a visit to the Russian Foreign Ministry.

On June 14, the Ukrainian army fired about 700 shells and mines on the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic.

During the shelling by the Ukrainian military, five civilians were killed, another 39 people were injured.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation to protect Donbass.

This decision was made after the request of the leadership of the DPR and LPR for help.  

Putin, during a meeting with UN Secretary General António Guterres, recalled that the whole problem around Ukraine arose after the coup d'état that took place in Kyiv in 2014.
