The White House condemns a “horrifying” strike that killed at least 51 people in a village in eastern Ukraine, saying the attack underscores the need to keep supporting Kyiv against Russia.

“It is incredibly horrifying for the people of Ukraine,” Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tells a briefing. “This is why we’re doing everything that we can to help Ukraine.”
