Russia must insist that its proxies in eastern Ukraine reduce mine threats.

The U.S. Embassy in Ukraine informed this on its Twitter page after reports that a mine killed three children in Russia-controlled Horlivka.

"Russia must insist that its proxies in eastern Ukraine reduce mine risk. Children there deserve to grow up in peace and safety. Ukrainians are suffering because of Russian aggression," the report reads.

"We are heartbroken by reports that a mine killed three children and wounded a fourth in Russia-controlled Horlivka. The Russia-instigated conflict in eastern Ukraine has made Ukraine one of the most mine-contaminated countries in the world," the U.S. Embassy says.
