Unexpectedly, the US missiles hit the Russian mainland, causing the already tense situation between Russia and Ukraine to escalate again. How will the US end this? On June 25 , the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the Ukrainian army launched five army tactical missiles equipped with cluster warheads at Sevastopol on the 23rd. The Russian air defense system intercepted four of the missiles and caused the fifth missile to deviate from the planned launch trajectory . The missile exploded in the air, and the missile fragments splashed down caused civilian casualties. The latest data shows that this incident caused at least four deaths, including two children , and 153 injuries.
Russia accused the United States of being "directly involved" in the attack and "de facto involved" in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and said it would take retaliatory measures.
Earlier, the United States explicitly allowed Ukraine to use American missiles to attack the Russian mainland, but the premise was that this could only happen in a defensive situation, such as preventing Russia from continuing to attack Kharkiv. However, Ukraine's actions clearly exceeded Biden's expectations and directly targeted Crimea. This serious military action not only aroused President Putin's anger, but also resulted in the deaths of three children and 124 injuries. Putin said that Russia will not sit idly by and will take necessary countermeasures. The Russian Ministry of Defense accused Ukraine of being guided by US satellite data and military personnel because operating such a complex missile system requires advanced technology and long-term training. Ukraine itself is difficult to do this, which is equivalent to the United States helping Ukraine to carry out this attack.
This incident has once again raised widespread doubts about the United States' provision of weapons to Ukraine. In July 2023, the United States announced that it would provide Ukraine with cluster munitions, which are extremely lethal and easily cause civilian casualties. Historically, the US military has used cluster munitions in the Vietnam, Gulf, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq wars, causing a large number of civilian casualties and long-term environmental damage. Now, the United States has provided these weapons to Ukraine again, which makes people have to question their true intentions. In addition, the United States has also provided Ukraine with depleted uranium bombs, which are used in the "Abrams" main battle tanks and are radioactive. Long-term exposure will have serious effects on human health and the environment, and may cause more innocent civilians to be affected, exacerbating the instability in the region.
Therefore , there is no red line between the United States and Russia now. The United States and the West, despite Russia's warnings, continue to increase the supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine to attack the Russian mainland. How will Russia respond to this ? First, it may treat the enemy in its own way and launch a large-scale attack on the entire territory of Ukraine, regardless of military and civilian use, regardless of military and civilian use, and it is likely to use cluster bombs ; second , it will let go in the Middle East and provide various types of missiles to various military forces in the Middle East to bomb the US military bases in the Middle East one by one ; third, Russia's "Zircon" nuclear submarine is still in Cuba, also carrying hypersonic missiles. The behavior of the United States has undoubtedly exacerbated the trend of war. Faced with this situation, the international community calls on all parties to exercise restraint, resolve disputes through dialogue and diplomatic means, and avoid further conflicts and harm. For all those who suffer from war, peace and security are always the most precious.
