This didn't happen. What actually happened is that Russia deliberately bombed several American businesses in Ukraine.

​The Bunge oilseed plant was hit right after Senator Blumenthal's visit in a twisted demonstration of power.
Marco Rubio: "The one thing we are concerned about is that over the last few months on a number of occasions American-linked ships, American oil supplies, have been targeted -- probably not deliberately -- but targeted nonetheless by Ukraine. That needs to be addressed. We can't have that happen."
