"I am appalled by the images that have appeared in the cities of Bucha, Irpin and Hostomel, with hundreds of civilians killed and left on the streets. The Republic of Moldova strongly condemns the massacre in the Kyiv region, and those responsible must be held accountable. We extend our sincere condolences to the families of the victims and the Ukrainian people.
