Shelling hit a trolleybus in war-torn east Ukraine's Donetsk on January 22, 2015 and killed at least 13 people, an official said, hours after peace talks in Berlin called for a ceasefire. At least 41 people were killed in Ukraine's east Thursday, one of the deadliest days in the separatist war, with a bloody bus shelling in Donetsk as government forces abandoned their defence of the city's strategic airport.

Novo-Ogaryovo - Russia will be doing all it can to stop the senseless bloodshed in Ukraine and prevent the war party from winning in this country, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

“We should not allow the war party in Kyiv, which is being patronized from the outside, and we know well by whom, win a victory in Ukraine. We will be doing all we can to stop the senseless continuation of this bloodshed,” Lavrov told journalists on Jan. 22.
