The US has vowed to keep supporting Ukraine “unwaveringly” and has denounced Russia’s “horrific” attacks this morning, during which it launched several missiles.
“We will continue to provide unwavering economic, humanitarian, and security assistance so Ukraine can defend itself and take care of its people,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken tweeted.
Blinken said he had spoken to his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba “to reiterate US support for Ukraine”.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he has spoken to Bridget Brink, the US ambassador to Ukraine, following this morning’s air strikes.
“The United States condemns Russia’s attacks on the infrastructure facilities of Ukraine and is committed to holding Russia accountable for war crimes and atrocities committed in our country. Thank you for your support!” he wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
