NEWS STORY : Ambassador Neil Bush condemns Russia’s continued attacks against civilians in Ukraine
STORY
Neil Bush, the Head of the United Kingdom’s Delegation to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, has condemned Russia’s attack against civilians in Ukraine. Speaking in Vienna he said:
“On Thursday 29 December, Russia subjected Ukraine to a massive bombardment, one of the largest seen since the invasion began and lasting five hours. Once again, in a repeat of a sickening pattern, Russia targeted civilians and energy infrastructure – killing three and wounding many more. A mere 36 hours later on the 31st December, as Ukrainians prepared to welcome in the New Year, Russia’s illegal and inhumane assault against Ukraine’s civilian population continued.”
