Russia says United States is directly involved in Ukraine war

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.

"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," the defense ministry said…

“Perhaps if they say “Globohomo” a billion more times.”

LOL! and sprinkle a few “Schwab” and “Soros” on top as flavor crystals!

But... Congress hasn’t declared war!

Has Congress declared war since 12/8/1941?

The US is Directly Involved enough that it will Directly Receive the Consequences should this Democrat-Neocon stupidity get out of hand.

[metmom]

Yup.

Can’t deny that.

Imo, wars are tiles in the mosaic of evil. Terror is saturating all that is.

The Russian propaganda had to say this. It would be very embarrassing for them to lose to small Ukraine that they were supposed to destroy in 3 days. Now going on 5 months into their 2 day war and stalemated, they have to save face and blame the super powerful USA instead of puny Ukraine.

"It is a Democrat war...winning is not the goal."

Maybe if we elect Republicans winning will be the goal. And the aid won't be slow walked by Moscow Joe.

In the meantime,

• Russia is stalled in their goal to take new territory.
• Russia's military capability is being rapidly degraded. Over 900 tanks destroyed.
• Russia's economy is being rapidly degraded. The sanctions are working, never mind the fake ruble valuations
• Europe, NATO, the US, and many countries in the world are upgrading their militaries and providing their older weapons to Ukraine.

Granted, slow walking aid means both Ukrainans and Russians are dying unnecessarily. An optimal win would see Ukraine provided with overwheming force and kicking Russia out in a timely manner. Thus incurring minimal loss of life on both sides.

“Nope. It’s not our guys firing the weapons.”

I wish I had your confidence in the Biden administration and the media that backs him and swears he’s telling the truth...about anything.

Sorties like these are not public information you can see on the tube. And Biden and his puppet masters have lied before. This is why they have levels of clearance. Not always to protect the information but those giving it, also.

“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.”

So what? As if Russia didn’t do the same things in Korea and Vietnam.

[MercyFlush]

Well said.

[DannyTN]

Actually it's more confidence that the information would leak out if we actually had troops on the ground or in the air engaged in combat.

Even Putin doesn't allege that. Claiming that we are approving targets for the HIMARS system is not direct involvement. Putin should probably be thankful that the US is providing some restraint.

Of course there could be multiple reasons we would want to approve targets for the HIMARS.

• They are expensive weapons and missiles and we don't want to see them wasted on low value targets.
• We don't want them accidently blowing up a kindergarten or something else that could generate bad press or even war crime claims.
• We might not be sharing all the intel that we have with Ukraine, so we likely have more information than they have.
• They have long ranges that can reach into Russia. And we might not want Ukraine inflicting damage directly on Russia because we don't want to raise the morale of the Russian troops. They don't know why they are in Ukraine fighting, but attacks directly on Russia give them a reason.

I’m noticing a trend amongst the pro-Russian forces on FR lately to write responses to their own posts.

Curious as to the point of this recurring practice.

So?

Its not like gay clown Vlad can do a damn thing about, except send more Russian boys to die for his failed gamble.

What time is it?

[FreshPrince]

Well I have done it, but it was to make an additional point and out of convenience I just replied to my post.

So I wouldnt think much of that. But who knows...
