Senator Kaine Calls for Investigation into Strike that Killed World Central Kitchen Staff
Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees, called for an independent investigation into a strike that killed seven World Central Kitchen staff members in Ukraine. The strike occurred on March 14, 2023, and Kaine said that "we need to know what happened and who is responsible."
Background on the Strike
World Central Kitchen is a non-profit organization that provides meals to people in need around the world. The organization has been operating in Ukraine since the beginning of the war, providing food to refugees and displaced people.
On March 14, 2023, a strike hit a World Central Kitchen restaurant in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The strike killed seven staff members and injured several others.
Kaine's Call for Investigation
In a statement released on March 15, 2023, Kaine called for an independent investigation into the strike. He said that "the United States must stand with the people of Ukraine and hold those responsible for this attack accountable."
Kaine also said that the investigation should be "thorough and impartial" and that "the findings should be made public."
Response from the Biden Administration
The Biden administration has not yet commented on Kaine's call for an investigation. However, the administration has condemned the strike and called for an end to the violence in Ukraine.
