WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian water and energy supplies are aimed at exacerbating human suffering and are particularly heinous, U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters on Tuesday.
Russia fired a huge volley of missiles at Ukrainian cities on Monday in what Russian President Vladimir Putin called retaliation for an attack on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet at the weekend. Ukraine said it shot most of those missiles down, but some had hit power stations, knocking out electricity and water supplies.
