Part of the Practice of the Russian Federation: US Department of US Department reacted to missile strikes in Pokrovsk (photo)

It is noted that the State Department of the United States has not left the missile stroke of Russia in the city of Pokrovsk in Donetsk region, which led to a tragic death of at least nine people. Miller also added that the city's rocket firing is part of Russia's long -term practice to fire civil infrastructure in Ukraine.

The State Department spokesman asked whether the shelling of Pokrovsk was connected with a "peaceful summit" in Jedda, to which he replied that the Russians had carried out similar terrorist acts before, so it cannot be argued that these events were somehow related. "Russia has long fired at Ukraine's civilian infrastructure. They do it consistently since the beginning of the war. Therefore, I would not link this event to negotiations to ensure a fair and prolonged peace," he emphasized.

The State Department representative also noted that the missile blow to Pokrovsk is a reflection of Russia's refusal to participate in real peace talks. It is known that on August 8, search and rescue works after the missile strike of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were completed in the city of Pokrovsk of Donetsk region. Nine people were killed as a result of rocket strokes, and another 82 were injured, including two children.

We will remind that as a result of rocket strike on Pokrovsk on August 7 Andriy Omelchenko died, who held the position of deputy chief of the Main Directorate for Emergency Response to the Main Directorate of the SES of Ukraine in Donetsk Oblast.
