White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Sunday condemned Russia for what he called the "shocking and horrifying" killing of an American journalist in Ukraine by Russian forces and vowed the U.S. would respond with "appropriate consequences" once the Biden administration obtains more information about the death.
"This is obviously shocking and horrifying, and I've just learned about it as I came onto air here, so I will be consulting with my colleagues, we'll be consulting with the Ukrainians to determine how this happened and then to measure and execute appropriate consequences as a result of it," Sullivan told "Face the Nation" when asked about the consequences would be for the Russians killing an American.
"This is part and parcel of what has been the brazen aggression on the part of the Russians where they have targeted civilians, they have targeted hospitals, they have targeted places of worship and they have targeted journalists," he continued.

Like the old lawyer joke says in the punchline...”it’s a start”
Thanks, we likely advised the Ukrainians to position in residential areas since they’ve got the world’s media to cover for them.
Maybe the idiot journalist shouldn’t have been in a war zone.
...assuming he was a "journalist" and not working for a 3-letter agency.
I wouldn't believe anything coming out of CBS or any of the other propaganda media. CBS in particular is the company of Dan Rather and they even kept him on the payroll AFTER he got caught forging documents.
Because there is plausible deniability. Afghanistan and it’s utter horror and $85B loss along with the 13 dead are squarely on Brandon, Milley and Austin. Thus the state-run media hide and lie about it.
So you are all for raping and killing civilians and starving their children?
Why does the NYT even bother sending reporters into the field? They can manufacture their lies from the comfort and safety of their offices in New York. Hard to feel bad for a guy we know was just there to generate propaganda for the Gray Lady.
Many reporters arr CIA agents or opertives
“It is worth mentioning that Sullivan is a liar. There is an interview of the slain journalist’s partner from hospital on Telegram. It is clear that they were shot at the Ukrainian checkpoint.”
Thanks, and there would be no benefit for the Russians to execute him anyway. At most they’d make him a POW until the war ended.
LOL!
I would bet this guy had no NYT badge on and no camera visible. Just possible because the lies are rampant now.
But the slaughter of Ukrainians is a meh
Americans are being killed, robbed, raped by illegals coming into our homeland. What about getting upset over the invasion across our own border?!!
Why wouldn’t an attacking army not kill every ‘journalist’, read: spy, they can find??
Horrifying, yes ...shocking? No — he was in a war zone.
Prayers for his family. War is hell. Evil people exist. It’s time we acted like it.
Stay out of War Zones if you don’t want to be killed. Or, wear your Girl Scout ID Badge and be sure that the warring factions agree to identify every person as being a Girl Scout or not before the shooting starts.
Jake, you should go to Ukraine and report news from there, the ruskies will not kill you.
“Horrifying, yes ...shocking? No — he was in a war zone.”
Horrifying, nope, he was a liberal, a communist, a traitor to freedom...shocking? No — he was in a war zone.
“Early reports that he worked for the Times circulated because he was wearing a Times badge that had been issued for any assignment many years ago.”
So he was a Fake News Reporter. Wonder how many more are out there.
If he had chosen to cover runaway crime on our Southern border just as closely, he’d likely be just as dead.
