US President Joe Biden condemned the attack and said that Putin became a "pariah around the world".[12]Denise Brown, UN's Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine, issued a statement describing the attack as "another example of [the] inexcusable level of suffering Russia’s invasion is inflicting on the people of Ukraine. International humanitarian law protects civilians and civilian infrastructure, and everything must be done to minimize or avoid civilian harm, including by verifying targets".[13]
PEN Ukraine and Truth Hounds referred to the strike as a war crime, with the latter being the organization Ukrainian writer and victim of the strike Victoria Amelina was a war crimes documentarian for. PEN Ukraine stated, "They clearly knew that they were shelling a place with many civilians inside".[14]Sky News international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn stated that, since a high-precision missile was used to carry out the strike, "they probably knew exactly what they were firing at", and that "this is an alleged war crime".[8]France's Minister for Europe and Foreign AffairsCatherine Colonna called the strike a war crime,[15] as did Sweden's Ministry for Foreign Affairs.[16]
