Russia could deliberately hit an apartment building in Zaporozhye - the White House
"Obviously, this is a Russian scenario - to aim at civilian infrastructure and not to pay attention to the fact that the blow can fall on civilians. Therefore, the fact that the blow could be conscious is quite possible," he suggested. However, according to Kirby, Washington does not yet have specific information about the missile strike and his motives.
Kirby also confirmed the information about accelerating the supply of Ukraine tanks and Patriot tanks, noting that Washington's policy on the transfer of F-16 fighters to Ukraine has not changed. "The coming weeks and months will be critical. We want to make sure that Ukrainians have everything they need for success," he said. According to Kirby, the next weeks of attention will be the focus of military deliveries: armored vehicles, artillery, air defense and ammunition.
Answering the question of CNN journalist about the possibility that China is armed with Ukraine, the Pentagon representative said that "there is no sign that Beijing is moving in this direction or deciding on such an opportunity. " We will remind, on March 22 Russian troops struck a rocket strike on residential buildings in Zaporozhye. According to the SES, at least 32 people were injured in Zaporozhye's apartment building in Zaporozhye.
