Well done for having researched who died. So there were no people from Pridnestrovie that died? Ukrainian media said there were several....

As for Condemnation of Odessa.
Well, did you see the RT feature where they asked Americans where Ukraine was on the map? The most common answer was roughly in the region of Kazakhstan or Central Siberia. Others quite happily put it in India or Turkey.
As for Odessa - they probably think it's the name of a porn star or a restaurant. Or they recognise it from the title of a Robert Ludlum book.
Ignorance of geography, history and other cultures is really helpful in a country where the government wants to mislead the population in the way that the US does. Ten years into the Afghanistan, most Americans can't find Afghanistan on a map, or name even one neighbouring country. No doubt there'll soon be a new school shooting or dramatic court case to distract Americans.

So few Americans are open minded like yourself, and prepared to learn something new without projecting prejudice and propaganda onto it.

So no, the US won't offer condoleances. EU hasn't either, and at least in the EU people know where Odessa is located. The Swedish foreign minister tweeted something that suggested the burning was Russia's fault. He hates Russia with a vengeance that is bordering on obsession and has allegedly been in the pay of the CIA. William Hague (UK) is another serious Russia antagonist and also commented something snidy instead of offering condoleances.
Meanwhile apparently the UA embassy in Moscow received tons of flowers which they ignored!
