Aug. 29 (UPI) -- European Union member states published a statement by EU High Representative Kaja Kallas on the war in Ukraine, and Kallas said in a meeting that Russia mocks peace efforts.
The statement, which was supported by 26 member states, denounced the recent attack on Kyiv that killed 23 people, including four children, and damaged the British Council and the EU delegation offices.
"We extend our condolences, stand in solidarity with all Ukrainians and strongly condemn Russia's ongoing assaults on civilians and civilian infrastructure, which are a deliberate escalation and undermine efforts toward peace," the statement by Kallas said.
"The attack also caused serious damage to the buildings of the Delegation of the European Union in Kyiv, once again demonstrating the reckless nature of Russia's attacks and its disregard for international law. Endangering the lives of diplomats and diplomatic personnel is a clear violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations," the statement continued.
