Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered the most serious crisis in relations between Russia and the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
Russia on Tuesday said that the United States, the world's top military power, was directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine because US spies were approving and coordinating Ukrainian missile strikes on Russian forces.
"It is the Biden administration that is directly responsible for all Kiev-approved rocket attacks on residential areas and civilian infrastructure in populated areas of Donbas and other regions, which have resulted in mass deaths of civilians." - Russian Defense Ministry
Russia's defense ministry, headed by a close ally of President Vladimir Putin, said Vadym Skibitsky, Ukraine's deputy head of military intelligence, had admitted to the Telegraph newspaper that Washington coordinates HIMARS missile strikes.
“All this undeniably proves that Washington, contrary to White House and Pentagon claims, is directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine," the defense ministry said.
US President Joe Biden has said he wants Ukraine to defeat Russia and has supplied billions of dollars of arms to Kyiv but US officials do not want a direct confrontation between US and Russian soldiers.
Russia said the Biden administration was responsible for missile attacks on civilian targets in areas controlled by Russian-backed forces in eastern Ukraine.

hard to say otherwise....
And we are.
Manning HIMARs. Check.
Advisors directly on the ground directing Ukrainian targets, pushes, etc. Check.
I concur.
I don’t think Ukraine sunk the Russian flagship with a little help.
Undebatable since the first shot fired.
And the only folks paying the price are the Ukrainan people, conscripts of the Russian military and the American taxpayer.
All to protect an installed puppet and the worlds largest money laundering operation.
Couldn’t have predicted this. What a shock !!!
Nice job president diaper brain.
Nope. It’s not our guys firing the weapons.
We’re just providing information, advice and limiting how weapons we provided are used.
Now economic war, that’s a little different, but they whole world is with us on that.
Not much news from the battlefront. Looking more like a grinding war of attrition. Russian artillery pulverizes a town; Ukraine blows up an ammo dump; nothing changes but a few more people are dead.
It is neither a friend nor ally.
As well as various US Intelligence Agency personnel. Bet.

Let me apologize for that time in Vietnam when a fighter off the Forestall destroyed that Russian ammunition ship in Haiphong harbor in 1969.
Not.

People laughed at me when I said this would be the result of supplying the Ukes with weapons.
To them: I told you so!
The real issue is that Russia is involved in the Ukraine war. Russia started the Ukraine war. Russia invaded the Republic of Georgia too. Ukraine needs to kill more Russians. They need more MLRS and CBRs. Biden is slow-walking aid and mismanaging delivery. We need a new Prez.

But no money for a border wall, imagine that.
Russia is just now figuring out that this is Biden’s war?
I agree.
When the US gets directly involved, Putin will know it. And this ain’t it.
