Russian government has accused the U.S. of ‘killing Russian children‘ after a Ukrainian attack on occupied Crimea with long-range missiles supplied by Washington and said there will be ‘consequences’.
RUSSIA WANTS ANSWERS
Moscow has summoned the U.S. ambassador to issue a formal warning, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov issued a public statement slamming the U.S. for ‘barbaric’ strike on Sevastopol, a strategic port city on the Black Sea.
‘The involvement of the United States, the direct involvement, as a result of which Russian civilians are killed, cannot be without consequences,’ said Peskov.
‘Time will tell what these will be.’
‘You should ask my colleagues in Europe, and above all in Washington, the press secretaries, why their governments are killing Russian children. Just ask them this question.’ the spokesman for Vladimir Putin said.
RUSSIA PROMISES RETALIATION
After the Sevastopol strike, Russia accused the U.S. of ‘waging a hybrid war against Russia’ and of becoming ‘a party to the conflict.’
Russia also told U.S. Ambassador to Russia Lynne Tracy the attack would ‘not go unpunished. Retaliatory measures will definitely follow.’
NUMBER OF INJURIES
The attack killed at least four people, including two children, with 150 were injured.
