You're reading: US to react to unsanctioned convoy passage

Moscow - The crossing by the Russian humanitarian convoy into Ukraine without Kyiv's permission is unacceptable, said the United States Embassy in Russia.

The U.S. Embassy spokesman William Stevens told the Dozhd television channel that crossing without the Ukrainian government’s permission was unacceptable even under a humanitarian pretext. He said the embassy was gathering evidence and there could be a reaction from Washington.

Asked whether the move could prompt more U.S. sanctions against Russia, he declined to speculate on what will happen and how.
