White House on drone attack on Moscow: Russian started war

The White House commented on the drone attack on Moscow, noting that it was a consequence of the war unleashed by Russia.

"This is a war that Russia started," said Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press Secretary, responding to a request to comment on the drone attack on Moscow city centre, Ukrainska Pravda reports.

Karin Jean-Pierre emphasised that the Russian Federation has been striking civilian facilities in Ukraine almost every day during all the months of the war.

"Russia has been bombarding the Ukrainian port of Odesa; killing and injuring Ukrainian civilians; devastating UNESCO-listed World Heritage Sites; and destroying tens of thousands of tons of grain that were going to be shipped to countries around the world," she said.

At the same time, Karin Jean-Pierre noted that the US does not support Ukraine's strike on Russian territory, emphasising that Crimea is Ukrainian territory.
