MOSCOW, June 23 (Reuters) - Russia said on Sunday that the United States was responsible for a Ukrainian attack on the Russian-annexed Crimean peninsula with five U.S.-supplied missiles that killed at least five people including three children and injured 124 more. The Russian Defence Ministry said four of the U.S.-delivered Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles, equipped with cluster warheads, were shot down by air defence systems and the ammunition of a fifth had detonated in mid-air. The ministry said U.S. specialists had set the missiles' flight coordinates on the basis of information from U.S. spy satellites, meaning Washington was directly responsible. "Responsibility for the deliberate missile attack on the civilians of Sevastopol is borne above all by Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, and by the Kyiv regime, from whose territory this strike was carried out," the ministry said.

Biden is desperately trying to provoke Putin.
It appears the casualties on the beach were caused by fall-out from an anti-missile hit. The question is, why is the US attacking the Russian fleet? ... and doing it in ways that can be detected?
President Poopy Pants wants his sh*t to hit the fan. Distraction from the election etc. Doesn't realize this creates a stink worldwide creating a stinky mess for all.
Biden as a manufactured “War President” would give the vast deep-state intel/propaganda apparatus of DHS/CIA/DOJ/FBI all the power it needs to put absolute controls on US media and politics going into the election
Putin has killed hundreds of thousands in his invasion of Ukraine.
“A wider war?”
Sadly so, or they wouldn’t have said the obvious (the US giving Ukraine targeting and routing information, if not pulling the trigger).
So how do they respond? Two things are almost certain - American lives will now be lost, and the response will be assymetric, and likely on a larger scale than our strike on Crimea. Are Americans ready for that? It does, after all, seem that the Zeepers are all for it, but like I said, are AMERICANS ready?
“...killed at least five people including three children and injured 124 more....” The Russians are learning from the Arabs when it comes to listing casualties.
He apparently hasn’t killed enough...
“Putin has killed hundreds of thousands in his invasion of Ukraine.”
Actually, Russia has killed hundreds of thousands in Ukraine, but we know you guys use “Putin”.
By the way, you’re slipping, you guys are required to say FULL-SCALE invasion.
Umm who attacked Crimea? Didn’t Russia start the war by sending their Army into Ukraine and attack the Ukrainian people using deadly force?
Seems like the pot calling the kettle black.
If it were Arabs reporting we’d see 120 killed 6000 wounded...
Crimea was occupied in 2014 after Obama unleashed war on the region by nullifying an election... catch-up...
So Putin has not authorized this and he just thinks what?
Ridiculous, but not unsurprising comment
Yes hitler didn’t kill 6 million Jews, others did so those that ordered it done are innocent SMH
Biden is desperately trying to provoke Putin.
><><
He certainly is. The US is “cruisin’ for a bruisin’”.
Exactly, Russia occupied the Crimea which was part of Ukraine.
But the reason for the occupation had nothing to do with elections, or NAZIs, or NATO, or what other fig leaf excuse that is given.
This war is just the first physical conflict between two central banking systems. The US Dollar on one side, BRICS on the other.
You aren’t too bright. Biden loves your kind.
“So Putin has not authorized this and he just thinks what?”
Your words not mine.
I wonder, is Iran responsible for every drone attack? How about blaming North Korea for every 155mm shells that lands in Ukraine.
Russian aircraft and pilots downed US planes in Vietnam and Korea. I don’t remember clearly, but I don’t think we attacked Russia for those things?
Russians are cry babies.
Ukraine has zero rights to Crimea... nor does the Russian Federation have to abide by corrupt deals made by the apparatchiks of the USSR. The people of Crimea overwhelmingly want to be a part of Russia. Why do the wishes of the people of Crimea amount to zero for you people?
