"Today, fatal strikes are reported in Donetsk... It is important to recall that civilians and civilian infrastructure must be protected under international humanitarian law. They should never be hit," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

In addition, according to Dujarric, the acting humanitarian coordinator for Ukraine, Matthew Hollingsworth, condemned the "wave of deadly airstrikes" and stressed that such indiscriminate attacks must stop.
