Commenting on Russia's attack on Sumy, US State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said that they condemn the impact on civilians and that is why they continue to work towards a ceasefire.
She said this during a briefing, reports UNN.
Bruce was asked to react to the attack on Sumy, to which she replied: "We all condemn the impact on civilians. And that's why we continue to work towards a ceasefire, and what's happening in Saudi Arabia right now is to get that commitment and make it happen. That's why we do what we do, because such outcomes of any war are problematic and terrible, and we want to stop and turn back."
At the same time, she did not directly state that the US condemns Russia's actions and its constant shelling, in particular of the civilian population.
