Ukraine Would Not Have Hit Sevastopol Without US' Direct Participation - Russian FM Lavrov
Sputnik News ^ | 7/7/24

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Ukrainian missiles would not have hit Russian cities, including Sevastopol, without direct US involvement in targeting, and Moscow will respond "in the foreseeable future," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Sunday.

"Without the direct involvement of the United States in the targeting and processing of satellite data, these missiles would not have gone anywhere ... As for our response, the [Russian] president said we will respond, and I'm sure you'll hear about it in the foreseeable future," Lavrov told Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin.

The diplomat said NATO and the US continue to insist on their non-involvement in the conflict with Russia, and called it a "bad play" evident to everyone.

On June 23, Ukrainian forces attacked Sevastopol – the largest city on the Crimean Peninsula – using ATACMS missiles with cluster warheads provided by the US. Four of the missiles were shot down and one deflected, causing it to detonate over the city.

The attack claimed four lives, including two children, and injured 153 people, including 27 children. The next day after the attack, Russia summoned US Ambassador in Moscow Lynne Tracy to express protest. The United States bears equal responsibility with Kiev for the missile strike on the civilian population of Sevastopol, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

You're going to look quite the fool at the end of this Ukraine-Russia business.

We'll find out then if you're a troll, or a real Freeper.

A troll will just power on with no embarrassment at all.

A real Freeper would apologize.

We'll see which one you are.

“Spoken like a true fascist.”

This is now your SECOND personal attack on me. Are you testing the mods to see how long you survive here?

Yeah if they suspend me for you that would say it all.

They should do whatever they think is best. I suggest you make more requests to ban me, like the Soviet communist you are.

Hanging Ukraine out to dry would be stupid, give the Ukraine military everything they need but not money. Russian aggression goes away within 6 months! Ukraine gets ALL of Crimea and recovers their part of The Black Sea, Russia gets most but not all of the land from Donesk city east along the existing front lines.

I am sure we will be hearing about a response from Putin soon. We will probably talk about it for the rest of the year.

In Ivano-Frankivsk Ukraine

Police had to rescue the Dictator Zelenskys kidnappers who were surrounded by locals and beaten.

The EU, NATO, and Washington ignore the reality of life in a collapsing Ukraine.

Why wouldn’t Ukraine hit the largest port on Crimea? Because the Russians did not want them to?

Boy, the Russians whine a lot. They start a war and then get mad when the other side shoots back.

They had everything worked out in Istanbul in March, 2022. Boris Johnson, playing messenger boy for Demented Joe, blew it up, along with a couple of pipelines.

You need to go back and look at that “beach bombing.” That was the result of Russian intercepting attacks without any regard for what was below them.

It’s just people…they don’t give a hoot.

Here is a tip: Don’t take a vacation in a war zone.

Next you will complain about the room service at the Gaza Hilton.

I’m sorry, who chose to send the missiles from Ukraine OVER A CROWDED BEACH, in BROAD DAYLIGHT, on a SUMMER HOLIDAY, like hoping to use the people on the ground as HUMAN SHIELDS (as you all but say, by the way)?

Oh, yeah, it was THE NEOCONS!!!! And if they’re not the biggest war criminals on the planet yet, they sure are making a great run at at it!

They have been there in Sevastopol longer than we have been in Ohio.

Yeah, Sevastopol is. It was founded in 1783 by Catherine the Great. The Russian fleet has been there since that time except when briefly forced out by the original Nazis.

You may not like it, but yeah, it’s Russian, that is the language there, they all have Russian passports, and it has been that way since the Era of George Washington. Longer than we have had Ohio.
