On January 13, using a Grad rocket, Russia-backed terrorists of the so called DNR shelled a Ukrainian checkpoint near the town of Volnovakha in the Donetsk region, once again brutally violating the cease-fire agreements. The terrorists stuck a passenger bus driving nearby. 13 civilians have been killed and 16 wounded.

Ukraine urged the international community to unite with Ukraine in the fight against terrorism, and proclaimed January 15 a National Day of Mourning.

In connection with the tragic murder of civilians resulting from an act of terror near the town of Volnovakha, the Ukrainian Embassy in London has opened a Book of Condolences.

We invite you to express your condolences signing the on-line version of the book below.

Ich möchte meine tief empfundene Anteilnahme für alle ausdrücken, die in diesem Krieg ihre Liebsten verloren haben. Es ist schockierend, wie skrupellos die von Russland unterstützen oder aus Russland eingeschleusten Agressoren ihren blutigen, kriminellen Krieg weiter führen. Der Ukraine wünsche ich eine Zukunft in Frieden und Rechtsstaatlichkeit.

I shall always hold KGB Nazi RAS-Putin responsible for each and every death in Ukraine for the past 12 months and particularly for fomenting and directly causing an unnecessary civil war where Ukraine has no other choice but to fight or to stay Mafia Russia's slaves.

May the friends and families and the rest of the country heal from the violence Russian Mafia leader RAS-Putin has brought to them.

May all Russia's victims Rest In Peace.

I was really shocked to learn that innocent civilians have been murdered by a coward attack by Pro-Russians separatists. I have followed on a daily basis the events in Ukraine for the last year and a half, and realized how tough and determined your people are.
I compare your struggle to the American War of Independence and to the Wars that South American countries fought during the nineteenth century. Believe me, every sacrifice is worth to gain FREEDOM.
We pray for the people in Ukraine and for the brave fighters on the front. Free nations support the Ukrainian Cause and its people; you are not alone.
Requiem in pace (rest in peace), innocent victims of this War.
Slava Ukraini

My thoughts go to those that are suffering from the loss of loved ones and friends in that attack by people that rather believe lies than listen to the truth about the corruption and the politicians they voted in to the Rada.
Their deaths will not be easily forgotten in the pages of Ukraine's history.
May their spirits be blessed with love and peace for eternity.

Мої думки звернені до тих, які страждають від втрати близьких і друзів в цій атаці людей, які, швидше вірити брехні, ніж слухати правду про корупцію і політиків вони проголосували в Раду.
Їх смерть не буде легко забути на сторінках історії України.
Нехай їх духи будуть благословенні любов'ю і миром навіки.
