It seems there is not a week goes by that America, or NATO, doesn't find a way to escalate the war in Ukraine. The attitude at the Penthouse and at NATO is absolute madness. But, hey, the war industry oligarchs are getting filthy rich with every man, woman, and child who is killed or maimed by their mad, evil inventories.
Kremlin warns US of ‘consequences’ after alleged Ukrainian strike on Crimea
The Kremlin on Monday warned the United States of “consequences” and summoned its ambassador after Moscow said a Ukrainian strike with a US missile on Crimea killed four people.
Issued on:
Moscow has increasingly blasted Washington and Kyiv’s Western backers for supplying weapons to be fired on Russian targets, calling them direct participants in the two-year conflict.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called Sunday’s strike on Sevastopol “barbaric” and accused Washington of “killing Russian children”.
Two of the victims were minors, Sevastopol governor Mikhail Razvozhayev wrote on Telegram.
Peskov also pointed to comments by President Vladimir Putin earlier this month about arming countries to potentially strike Western targets.
“The involvement of the United States, the direct involvement, as a result of which Russian civilians are killed, cannot be without consequences,” Peskov told reporters on Monday.
“Time will tell what these will be,” he said.
“Just ask my colleagues in Europe and above all in Washington, ask the press secretaries there why their government is killing Russian children,” he said.
The foreign ministry said it had summoned US envoy Lynne Tracy.
It later issued a statement saying that Washington “bears equal responsibility with the Kyiv regime for this atrocity” and the strike would “not go unpunished”.
Russia said the strike on Sunday was carried out with a US-supplied ATACMS missile loaded with a cluster warhead.
Local Moscow-installed officials said the missile hit an area of the port city with sandy beaches and hotels.
Russia said 82 people including 27 children were hospitalised with injuries from the strike.
Health Minister Mikhail Murashko was quoted by TASS news agency as saying on Monday that 14 of the injured were in a serious condition.
How can any human being justify the use of cluster bombs? Yet, it had to have been supplied and authorized by the USA.

UPI:
Russia's Ministry of Defense said Kyiv on Sunday launched five U.S.-supplied missiles equipped with cluster warheads at Sevastopol. Four of the missiles were intercepted, it said, adding that the fifth detonated mid-flight, raining fragments down upon civilians.
It is blaming the strike on the United States, stating on Telegram that "all flight missions for the American ATACMS operational-tactical missiles are entered by American specialists based on U.S.' own satellite reconnaissance data."
"Therefore, responsibility for the deliberate missile attack on civilians in Sevastopol lies primarily with Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, as well as the Kyiv regime, from whose territory this attack was launched."

Regis Tremblay speaks out.
SIMFEROPOL, June 25 – RIA Novosti. The founder and coordinator of the Friends of Crimea club in the United States, Regis Tremblay, in a comment to RIA Novosti, called the attack by American missiles on Sevastopol a barbaric attack.
Tremblay is a member of the International Association of Friends of Crimea. For the last 4.5 years he has lived in Yalta.
"I wholeheartedly and with anger condemn this barbaric attack on Crimea. The United States, the country of my birth, bears responsibility for these attacks and this war against Russia . I condemn the stated goal of the United States to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia," Tremblay told the agency.
He emphasized that as an American he knows for certain about the barbaric actions of the United States, from the genocide of millions of Native Americans, slavery, to the evil and barbaric carpet bombing and attacks on Vietnam.
“We should not forget that it was the United States that dropped atomic bombs on Japan, destroyed Dresden and carpet bombed and attacked North Korea,” Tremblay added.
A deliberate terrorist missile attack on the city of Sevastopol was carried out on June 23 at 12.15 Moscow time by five American ATACMS operational-tactical missiles equipped with cluster warheads. While repelling the missile attack, Russian air defense intercepted four missiles. The explosion of the fragmentation warhead of the fifth American missile in the air led to numerous casualties among civilians in Sevastopol. According to the latest data, 153 people were injured and injured of varying severity, 79 of them were hospitalized, including 27 children. Four died, two of whom were children. Monday, June 24, has been declared a day of mourning in Sevastopol and the Republic of Crimea.
