Kiev couldn’t have struck Russia with ATACMS missiles without Washington’s participation, Sergey Lavrov has said
The West appears to be working towards escalating the Ukraine conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said following reports that US-made ATACMS missiles were used in an attack on Russia’s Bryansk Region.
Previously, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that the Ukrainian military had launched six long-range ATACMS missiles on the border region, noting that five of them had been intercepted by Russian air-defense systems, while another was damaged and hit the ground near a military base.
The attack comes after US President Joe Biden reportedly authorized the use of American-supplied weapons for strikes deep inside Russia last week.
