BRUSSELS — The EU on Monday condemned the
“indiscriminate” bombing of civilians by Russian forces in Ukraine, after
deadly strikes hit the western city of Lviv.

“The EU condemns the continued indiscriminate and
illegal shelling of civilians and civilian infrastructure by Russian armed
forces,” said a statement by EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell.
He noted “particularly heavy attacks” in the east
and south of Ukraine and the ongoing offensive against the country’s second
city, Kharkiv.
“Attacks on Lviv and other cities in western Ukraine
show that no part of the country is spared from the Kremlin’s senseless
onslaught,” the statement added.
Air strikes on Lviv killed at least seven people,
officials said. The city had become a refuge for Ukrainians fleeing the
conflict in areas further east and for foreign diplomats.
Borrell said the EU supported measures to prosecute
those suspected of atrocities in the invasion.
“There can be no impunity for war crimes,” his
statement said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky earlier
accused Moscow of wanting to “destroy” the entire eastern region of Donbas
bordering Russia.
He said on Monday that he expected Ukraine would
acquire EU member candidate-status within weeks.
But the complex process typically takes years and EU
member states are divided on Ukraine’s application.
