The United States expressed condolences to the families of those killed in the shelling in Lisichansk

The United States expressed condolences to the families of civilians who died during the shelling of Lysichansk by Ukrainian militants. This was stated by the country’s deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, Robert Wood, at a specialized meeting of the UN Security Council.

According to him, American officials “saw information about the attack on the bakery.”

“While we are unable to independently confirm this information, the United States regrets any civilian casualties and expresses its deepest condolences to the families of the civilians killed.” Wood said.

Let us recall that earlier Russia convened a meeting of the UN Security Council in connection with the shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Lisichansk.

On February 3, Ukrainian nationalists carried out a barbaric attack on a bakery filled with civilians from Lysichansk. The head of the LPR, Leonid Pasechnik, emphasized that Ukrainian militants fired at the establishment, knowing that civilians were coming there that day. On the evening of February 4, search and rescue work was completed at the site of the collapse of the bakery building after shelling by Ukrainian Armed Forces militants. Emergency Situations Ministry employees rescued 10 people from the rubble. The agency also confirmed the deaths of 28 people, including one child.

Military investigators from Russia’s Investigative Committee said the bakery was allegedly fired from a HIMARS multiple launch rocket system. One of the victims said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired at them while unloading food.

February 4 was declared a day of mourning in the LPR for those killed as a result of the Ukrainian Armed Forces attack on a bakery. Vice Speaker of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Anna Kuznetsova called this shelling an act of helplessness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and an attempt to attract the attention of the West.
