Kirby did not “go into the calculation of losses. This is a war. And now it is in the zone of fierce hostilities. And war is a bloody history.”
He refused to comment on the role in the attack of an improved Himars volley fire system. “We provide and will continue to provide [Ukraine] of the types of systems and the help that they need for self -defense. And yes, this included Himars in the past, and may well include more Himars in the future,” Kirby said. We will be extremely clear. This is a war of Russia against Ukraine. “
Kirby called the “nonsense” of the approval of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin that Russia was actually waging a war against the West as a whole. “We are talking about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. And Russia is the one who began all this. Russia is those who brought up violence on the Ukrainian people,” Kirby said.

Russia officially admitted that 89 people died as a result of the attack, while, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, about 400 Russian soldiers died.
