The joint statement of the OSCE leaders has been published on the website of the organization, Ukrinform reports.
"The new year has depressingly begun in the same way that the last one ended. Death and destruction have stolen the lives of women, men, boys and girls and destroyed essential infrastructure. Every day, it is civilians who consistently pay the price in this terrible conflict. They should never be the victims of deadly drone and missile attacks," reads the statement on the continuing and intensifying aerial attacks by Russia in its war against Ukraine."

The OSCE leaders deplored "in the strongest possible terms" these ongoing attacks and urgently called for "an immediate end to the unrelenting violence that does nothing but propagate a vicious cycle of misery and suffering."
"We call for this war to end now," Borg and Schmid said, without specifying the specific addressee of this call.
