MOSCOW (Sputnik) - By attacking an ambulance brigade in the Kherson region, Ukraine took a step toward escalating the conflict and once again demonstrated its attitude toward a peaceful settlement, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Saturday.
Earlier in the day, Kherson Governor Vladimir Saldo said that Ukrainian forces had attacked a medical vehicle en route to a critically ill patient. Saldo later said that the entire three-person medical team had been killed in the drone strike.

"By doing so, the Ukrainian regime not only took a step toward escalating the conflict, but also once again demonstrated its true - that is, absolutely irresponsible - attitude toward the settlement efforts being undertaken in these days and weeks," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a comment published on the ministry’s website.

Moscow also condemned what it described as a targeted attack on civilians and expressed condolences to the families of those killed.
"We strongly condemn the deliberate Ukrainian attack on civilians. We offer our sincere condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims. Russian investigative and law enforcement agencies will do everything necessary to ensure that the organizers and perpetrators of this grave crime face inevitable and severe punishment," the statement said.
The Foreign Ministry also called on international organizations to provide what it described as an objective and impartial assessment of the incident and other alleged crimes.
"Silence and indulgence toward such actions by the Ukrainian regime are unacceptable," the statement added.
