<p>The increase in fighting and the deteriorating humanitarian situation in recent
days around the town of Avdiivka in the Donbas represents a serious escalation. We
have called publicly for all sides to demonstrate restraint, facilitate humanitarian
access, and to commit to a full and sustained ceasefire, in line with the provisions
of the Minsk Agreements.</p><p>Such fighting is clearly in breach of the ceasefire
commitments set out in the Minsk Agreements. We are clear that the conflict in Ukraine
has been caused, and is sustained by, deliberate Russian destabilisation of Ukraine.</p>
