Maryna Fenina, a member of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine, was killed as a result of the shelling of the city of Kharkiv by the Russian aggressor on March 1, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe reports.

"Our deepest condolences and sympathies go to Maryna's family. Maryna was a valued member of the SMM team, and our colleagues in Ukraine remain in close contact with her family to offer our support," OSCE Chairman-in-Office and Foreign Minister of Poland Zbigniew Rau and OSCE Secretary General Helga Maria Schmid extend their most heartfelt condolences to Maryna's loved ones, as well as to the SMM as a whole.

As reported, "Maryna was killed while getting supplies for her family in a city that has become a war zone. In Kharkiv and other cities and towns in Ukraine, missiles, shells and rockets are hitting residential buildings and town centers, killing and injuring innocent civilians – women, men and children alike."

The OSCE condemns the attacks of the Russian Federation on settlements, as a result of which civilians are killed, and called on the aggressor "for an immediate cessation of hostilities and to engage in a meaningful dialogue."
