Chief Pentagon spokesman John Kirby denounced President Vladimir Putin for the "depravity" of Russia's tactics in Ukraine and the "bizarre" claims he has made about his reasons for waging war there. "There's not even an attempt by Russia to be precise in their targeting," Kirby said in an emotional briefing during which he often found it hard to speak. "It's just brutality of the coldest and most depraved sort."
