MOSCOW, July 04. /ITAR-TASS/. Moscow calls on Kiev again to stop shelling of civilian facilities and residential districts and “to ponder over saving the life of ordinary people”, Russian Foreign Ministry commented on the deteriorating situation in eastern Ukraine on Friday.

“Ukrainian military forces have intensified their combat operations that resulted in casualties and destroyed buildings,” Russian diplomatic agency stated.

“Meanwhile, Kiev’s continued attempts to solve problems only by the use of force, through ultimatums and putting forward new requirements contradict provisions of the July 2 Berlin declaration adopted by the foreign ministers of Germany, Russia, Ukraine and France, lead only to bloodshed and new casualties,” the ministry noted.
