Lyman, a key transportation hub, had been an important site in the Russian front line for ground communications and logistics. Now that Ukraine has reclaimed the territory, it can push further, potentially into the occupied Luhansk region, one of the four areas Russia annexed Friday. The column of shot cars was discovered on Friday. Two cars burned completely with children and parents inside, Filchakov said.Russian forces fired at the column with a 12.5 mm caliber gun. Those who remained alive were then shot at with rifles, according to Filchakov.
"I've been clear myself, President Biden has been clear, the administration has been clear that there is a risk given all of the loose talk and the nuclear saber rattling by Putin, that he would consider this and we've been equally clear about what the consequences would be," National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said.
