U.S. Embassy in Ukraine: Russia must end its aggression

The U.S. Embassy in Ukraine wrote this on its Twitter account on March 26.

“We are deeply saddened by the deaths of four Ukrainian soldiers today due to shelling near Shumy, Donetsk region. Russia must observe ceasefire measures, end daily violence that is causing senseless suffering, engage constructively in peace negotiations, and end its aggression in Ukraine,” the tweet says.

On March 26, the armed formations of the Russian Federation opened fire from 82mm mortars, automatic easel grenade launchers and heavy machine guns on Ukrainian positions near Shumy (41km north of Donetsk). As a result of the shelling, four Joint Forces servicemen were killed and two were wounded. The wounded soldiers were promptly given first aid and taken to a hospital.
