We are following reports that the airstrikes carried out by Russia this weekend were the largest air attack on Ukraine since the beginning of the war. Obviously, our thoughts, prayers and awareness are with the victims and their families. We call for restraint and urge all parties to avoid further escalation," Bruce said.

We continue to support direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. The President supports any mechanism that leads to a just, lasting and lasting peace - any mechanism. There is no military solution to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and a diplomatic solution is needed," the spokeswoman summed up.
