The European Union expects that this will be thoroughly investigated. This opinion was expressed, commenting on the situation, the head of EU diplomacy Federica Magerini.

She also noted that it is necessary to take the very first steps without delay - full compliance with the ceasefire and the removal of heavy weapons in order to improve the situation.

The OSCE mission needs to be given full and unhindered access so that it can effectively verify any improvement in security that is extremely important for moving forward towards peace, said the head of European diplomacy, adding that the main humanitarian duty is to reduce the destruction and suffering of civilians, Affected by the conflict.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, Tillerson assured that the sanctions against Russia will continue until the full implementation of the Minsk agreements.
