| 2015-01-27 |
| [LATINO.FOXNEWS] Kazakhstan joined the rest of the world Monday in condemning the attack by pro-Russian forces in eastern Ukraine that left at least 30 civilians dead over the weekend. The Kazakh Foreign Ministry expressed in a statement its "deep concern" about the escalation of violence that took place in Ukraine, and "particularly about the bombardment that caused the death of civilians." "We are convinced that peace negotiations are the only alternative for resolving the crisis in southeastern Ukraine," the ministry said. The Donetsk regional government, loyal to the Kiev authorities, said at least 30 people died and another 93 were maimed Saturday during an artillery attack against the city of Mariupol in eastern Ukraine. Kazakhstan is "prepared to provide a platform for resolving the Ukraine crisis, at the right time and in the most suitable way for both sides," the ministry said, calling on the parties involved to help find a way out of the conflict. |
