Türkiye on Monday reiterated its call for an immediate end to the Russia-Ukraine war and for prioritizing diplomatic solution after missiles hit a shopping center with more than 1,000 people inside in the Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk.
In a statement, the Turkish Foreign Ministry expressed grief over the loss of lives in the missile attack.
“Such attacks, which have recently targeted civilian settlements in various cities, including Kyiv, once again reveal the brutality of the war in Ukraine and demonstrate the urgent need for lasting peace,” the ministry said.
“We strongly reiterate our call for an immediate cessation of this devastating war and a prioritization of a diplomatic solution,” it added.
Earlier, Ukrainian officials said that at least 10 people were killed and over 40 others injured after Russian missiles hit a shopping center with more than 1,000 people inside in the Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk.
