US has accused Russia of escalating the war against Ukraine

She stressed that Ukraine and Russia must seek ways to de-escalate the conflict, given the peace efforts led by President Donald Trump, according to European Truth.

"With regard to Ukraine, in particular the launch of the Oreshnik ballistic missile, capable of carrying nuclear weapons, directed against Ukraine near the border with Poland and NATO: this is yet another dangerous and incomprehensible escalation of this war, even though the United States is urgently working with Kyiv, other partners, and Moscow to end the war through negotiations," she said.

According to Bruce, instead of working toward a peaceful settlement, Russia's actions risk expanding and intensifying the war.

“We condemn Russia's ongoing attacks on Ukraine's energy facilities and other civilian infrastructure, which are intensifying. These attacks are a mockery of the cause of peace, which is of paramount importance to the world and to President Trump,” she added.

The diplomat called on Russia, Ukraine, and Europe to make a serious commitment to peace in order to end this nightmare.
