The Kremlin has directly accused the United States of orchestrating a missile attack on Crimea that resulted in four deaths and 151 injuries. Utilizing U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles, the strike has prompted Moscow to issue a stern warning to the U.S. ambassador, hinting at imminent retaliation.
Russian officials claim this conflict with the West has reached a critical and dangerous phase. The direct accusation against the U.S. for the Crimea assault, an area Russia annexed in 2014, is a significant escalation. Posts to social media allegedly show the missile launch, another of the strike itself.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov pointed fingers at Western governments, saying, “Ask my colleagues in Europe and Washington why their policies are killing Russian children.” This statement follows reports that two children were among the casualties in Sevastopol, where chaotic scenes showed people fleeing the beach and the injured being evacuated.
While Kyiv has remained silent on this specific incident, it consistently denies targeting civilians. Moscow alleges that the U.S. provided both the weaponry and the intelligence necessary for the strike. In a move to escalate diplomatic tensions, the Russian Foreign Ministry summoned U.S. Ambassador Lynne Tracy, accusing Washington of actively participating in the conflict and waging a hybrid war against Russia. They warned of unavoidable retaliatory measures.

U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller expressed sorrow over the civilian losses, maintaining that the U.S. supplies weapons to Ukraine for its self-defense, including Crimea. Pentagon spokesman Major Charlie Dietz emphasized that Ukraine independently makes its military decisions. An unnamed U.S. official clarified that the intended target was a military launcher, not civilians, and suggested that the civilian casualties were a result of Russian interception efforts.
President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned of the dangers of a wider war involving nuclear powers but insists that Russia does not seek conflict with NATO. President Joe Biden has reaffirmed that U.S. troops will not be sent to Ukraine, warning that a direct NATO-Russia clash would lead to World War III.
Putin portrays the Ukraine conflict as a struggle against American efforts to undermine Russia post-Soviet Union, claiming that the West aims to dismantle Russia and seize its resources. In contrast, Western leaders view the war as a defense against Russian expansionism. Both sides reject the other’s narrative of aggression and imperialism.
Despite U.S. restrictions on Ukraine using ATACMS to strike recognized Russian territories, the missiles’ extensive range remains a point of contention. In response to Western military aid to Ukraine, Putin has hinted at bolstering ties with North Korea and conducting nuclear weapon deployment drills.
When asked about Russia’s response to the Crimea strike, Peskov alluded to Putin’s earlier remarks on expanding Russia’s conventional weapons reach. He asserted that U.S. actions resulting in Russian civilian deaths would have serious consequences, though specifics were not provided.

Putin has been targeting civilians in Ukraine for months on end and now he shoots down a Ukraine missile fired at the Russian naval base that exploded and rained debris down on a beach? Now he’s lying about Ukraine shooting at civilians.
You are fabricating stories. Who do you think you are, CNN?
Bidens and UNs war.
Biden and Harris need to be removed from office.
Joe biden and the CIA/Deep state did this… maybe Russia will do America a favor and take out DC for us?
There were no military launchers on the beach filled with civilians..the US and Ukraine are war criminals. Its a clear violation of LOAC, even if there was a military launcher, the law of proportionality was violated
Hmmmm, but Russia sending guided missiles to crowded Ukraine cities where all ages get blown up, esp. the children of Ukraine, this is somehow forgotten by your evil soul, buddy…
As the article states, the reason the missiles landed on that beach was due to Russian counter measures. An explanation that makes sense when you consider how expensive each ATACMS missile is and the fact that there’s zero military value in striking a beach.
The xiden administration desperately wants us in WWIII
Funny how poo Tin doesn’t care about Ukrainian civilians.
I hope you leftist, lemming, bastards, enjoy your fate. You have supported democrap facists for decade to get here.
History will show that a comedian was used as a patsy by the cia to start WWIII…
You can hear the “dual passport” legislators in Congress wheezing and licking lips, over the prospects of dead white Christians….
Keep poking Putin and he just might retaliate by sending a few missiles towards a beach in Florida…
