Ukraine that has displaced millions of people is a result of the aggression of the Russian leadership - White House has said

WASHINGTON. The ongoing war in Ukraine that has displaced millions of people is a result of the aggression of the Russian leadership and its president Vladimir Putin, the White House has said.

"This is a war of aggression by the Russian leadership, by President Putin that has left millions of people displaced, homeless; has targeted civilians, hospitals and other innocent people across Ukraine," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters at her daily news conference on Friday.

"We know who the aggressor is; that is President Putin and Russia. And beyond that, I do not have any comment on military tactics," she said.

The official, however, refrained from commenting on the Russian statement that an apparent attack by Ukraine on one of its fuel depots is making it harder for Russia to stay engaged in the talks to end the war.
