Following Russia's massive attack on Ukraine, the United States called for remembering that it was Russia that started this war two and a half years ago.

U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink said this in a post on the social media platform X, Ukrinform reports.

“Today, Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine of over 100 missiles and 100 drones, killing civilians and targeting the energy grid. We must remember Russia started this war 2.5 years ago. We will continue to support Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against this brutal full-scale invasion,” she wrote.
