The US Ambassador in Ukraine, Bridget Brink, condemned Russia's rocket strike on the center of Chernihiv, which resulted in over a hundred people injured and seven deaths, according to her Twitter post.

"Horrified by news of today’s daytime attack on the historic center of Chernihiv. Innocent men, women, and children enjoying a beautiful Saturday - a holiday in Ukraine - should never end up killed or wounded," she said.

She further added that the attack on Chernihiv reflects the depth to which Russia has sunk.

"Russia’s missile and drone strikes on Ukraine’s cities, ports, and people reflect the depths to which Russia has sunk and must stop. Together with the people of Ukraine, we mourn this tragedy," the diplomat added.
