Explosions in eastern Ukraine prompt increased tensions with the US
On Friday, Russian state media reported a car bomb in Donetsk, Ukraine, an
area from which pro-Russian rebels were reportedly evacuating people to
Russia, according to reporting from the Financial Times. The US State
Department spokesperson said earlier on Friday that the shelling in the
area was a "false flag operation" and was being used to distract people
from understanding Russia "is the aggressor in this conflict," says Voice
of America reporting. US President Joe Biden is expected to discuss the
matter with NATO leaders on Friday and speak on the situation publicly, The
Associated Press reports. Russia is set to run several practice drills
involving its intercontinental ballistic and cruise missiles on Saturday,
according to AP, adding to fear of an invasion.
