"Attacks in Pokrovsk show again how Russian targets residential buildings, even stepping up the heinous nature of Putin's war with repeated attack when rescuers arrived to the site," Stano said.
The representative of the European Commission stressed that such actions of Moscow emphasise the criminal nature of the Russian aggression.
"There will be no impunity," Stano added.
