Russian FM accuses Kiev of “monstrous” Donetsk shelling

Russia has condemned the deadly shelling of a bus is eastern Ukraine as a monstrous crime. Moscow accuses Kiev of launching the attack, which left at least 13 people in Donetsk. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the move was a crude provocation aimed at undermining peace efforts. He said Moscow has demanded that the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe immediately investigate the incident. He said the OSCE has been also asked to intervene to prevent any further pointless civilian casualties in east Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukrainian troops have withdrawn from the Donetsk airport. This, after deadly clashes at the flashpoint site which claimed the lives of several Ukrainian soldiers. International monitors say the death toll from the nine-month conflict in eastern Ukraine has passed five-thousand, with more than a million others displaced.
