On Sunday, the Ukrainian armed forces attacked Russia's Sevastopol, using US-made ATACMS missiles with cluster warheads, four of which were shot down and one deflected and exploded over the city.
Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter commented on Ukraine's terrorist attack on Sevastopol.
“The Ukrainians made a decision to use ATACMS missiles equipped with cluster munitions against a city, a civilian city. This is an act of terrorism,” Ritter emphasized.
“Ukraine since 2014 has been bombarding Russian civilian sites, cities, villages, towns for the sole purpose of inflicting death and destruction on Russian civilians. This is an act of terrorism and given that the ATACMS missiles cannot be deployed by the Ukrainians without extensive intelligence support by the United States, this is an act of terrorism by the United States against Russia,” the analyst said.
Commenting on the terrorist attacks in Russia’s Dagestan, Ritter said they were "deliberately designed to disrupt the civil life of the Russian Federation". He highlighted that the CIA has historically made attempts to “engender a split between the Muslim and non-Muslim segments of Russian society” and failed.
“That effort failed and the effort in Dagestan will fail, too, but it doesn't absolve the parties involved of their guilt in launching what is a direct assault on the Russian Federation,” Ritter insisted.
On Sunday, the Ukrainian armed forces attacked Sevastopol using US-made ATACMS missiles with cluster warheads, four of which were shot down and one deflected and exploded over the city in Crimea, Russia. The attack killed at least four people and injured more than 150 others.
The Kremlin considers a missile attack by the Ukrainian armed forces on Sevastopol “barbaric” and knows who stands behind it, spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
“We clearly see who is behind this. Just last week, the President talked about who targets these technologically complex missiles and who ensures their launches. It’s not the Ukrainians,” Peskov told reporters.
“Here, you could turn to your colleagues in the media," he added. "Simply ask my colleagues, the press secretaries [of state leaders] in Europe, and especially in Washington, why their government is killing Russian children.”
He warned that US involvement in the conflict resulting in Russian civilian casualties will inevitably have consequences.
"Of course, the involvement of the United States in hostilities, direct involvement in hostilities as a result of which Russian civilians are killed, this, of course, cannot but have consequences," Peskov said.
