The Obama administration strongly condemned terrorist bombings in Russia that resulted in 30 dead.
The attacks, a bombing on an electric bus in Volgograd and another bombing at a railway station a day before that, come as Russia prepares to host the Winter Olympic games in Sochi.
In a statement, National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said the United States is offering its “full support” to the Russian government in preparing for the Olympic games in Sochi in response to the terrorist attacks. Hayden’s statement read:
The United States condemns the terrorist attacks that struck the Russian city of Volgograd and sends deepest condolences to the families of the victims with hopes for the rapid healing of those wounded.
The United States stands in solidarity with the Russian people against terrorism. The U.S. government has offered our full support to the Russian government in security preparations for the Sochi Olympic Games, and we would welcome the opportunity for closer cooperation for the safety of the athletes, spectators, and other participants.
