- Russia says US is responsible for strike on Crimea.
- Ukraine struck Crimea with U.S.-supplied ATACMS.
- Russia says U.S. personnel input flight coordinates.
- Russia says at least three people killed, 124 injured.
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.

LOL, sure, like Hitler was "FORCED" to invade Poland. Russian Idiocy
NATO marched east right up to Russia’s borders despite all promises.
Hopefully you did some calisthenics before that, wouldn’t want you to pull something.
If Obama succeeds in starting a war wit Russia he can have his puppet FJB declare martial law and “postpone” the November election.
Just two weeks to flatten the opposition.
“LOL, sure, like Hitler was “FORCED” to invade Poland. Russian Idiocy”
I guess if you’re down to invoking Hitler, then this discussion is over. Enjoy!
This is a resource and land grab. Putin is nothing more than a modern day Rus Viking. He is snatching hydrocarbon, mineral, and agricultural resources. Plus securing Russian gas line routes and the Black Sea Coast. And people. Russia is rapidly depopulating and needs women and children.
Ignore the nonsense about religion and ideology or even religion. Follow the money.
Link to the treaty by NATO promising to not expand eastward to Poland, etc.
It does NOT exist.
Russia is so afraid of NATO, they withdrew almost all of their forces from the Finnish border.
Russia has moved the vast majority of its ground forces previously stationed near Finland to the war in Ukraine, the Finnish public broadcaster Yle reported on June 19, citing an undisclosed Finnish military intelligence source.
Hundreds of thousands of Zelenskys human drones have been killed by Putin attempts to free the Donbass, and Russia territory of Ukraines annexation. FIXED IT.
The Crimea IS Russia.
100%
Thanks for your concern.
This was an easy layup.
Oh yes…do it for the babies.
Not only do they sound like cry babies…they sound like Democrats.
Funny coming from people whose leader pines for the days of the USSR.
You guys are either on the Kremlin payroll or you have been brainwashed. I think its a bit of column A and some of B.
This country is divided completely. You support your wars.
In a year or two when the narrative changes, NATO will be completely responsible for the pushing right up to the Russian border for this war. Biden back in 2014 threatening to withhold 1B unless a prosecutor was fired was the first signs the US was no longer Good Guys. Now there are no good guys. There’s just the DNC and me and we disagree.
You’re welcome. You’ll probably feel it tomorrow.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said four U.S.-provided Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) rockets, were intercepted over the city of Sevastopol, but fragments from the fifth rocket led to “numerous casualties among civilians” on the ground.
“All flight missions for the American ATACMS operational-tactical missiles are entered by American specialists based on U.S.’ own satellite reconnaissance data,” the ministry said in a statement. “Therefore, responsibility for the deliberate missile attack on civilians in Sevastopol lies primarily with Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine...

Sure, that's what we need in Europe, countries invading their neighbors, everyone claiming their historic lands. Okay
