The rocket attacks on Lviv on the night of July 6 are yet another example of the brutality of the military-political leadership of the Russian Federation in its aggression against Ukraine.
This was announced by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on Twitter.
The head of the State Department condemned the Russian attack on a peaceful city in Ukraine, which he regarded as a new example of the brutality of the Russian military.
He also confirmed the US intention to provide further support and assistance to Ukraine, which is repelling full-scale Russian military aggression.
"Russia's attack on the western Ukrainian city of Lviv is another example of the Kremlin's brutality, and that is why supporting the defense of Ukraine against Kremlin aggression is vital. The commitment of the United States to Ukraine is unwavering," the publication says.
