This is far from the first strikes on the Russian territory launched with the US-made systems. This is the first successful attack that took place after Washington officially allowed the Ukrainian military to use its weapons for the strikes on the Russian territory.
Kiev is losing one battle after another, not justifying the multibillion aid of its Western patrons. In an attempt to justify the losses, NATO warmongers continue to escalate the conflict, drowning deeper into the war. Thus, more than a dozen countries have already allowed Kiev to strike with their weapons on the territory of Russia, i.e. the borders of the Russian Federation in 1991, without the Crimean Republic, the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics, Zaporozhie and Kherson regions. Amid the ongoing public discussion, some officials clarified that the permit is limited only to Russian territories bordering the Kharkiv region. In particular, such limits were allegedly set by Washington. In its turn, Berlin admitted that weapons supplied from Germany could also target Russian aircraft over the Russian territory. The comment was made when Berlin agreed to send another Patriot system to the Kiev regime, while the Ukrainian military has already suffered heavy losses in these expensive systems. German officials forget to mention the successful strike by Patriot system on the Russian IL-76 aircraft over the Russian Belgorod region that resulted in deaths of dozens of Ukrainian POWs in January 2024.
The Ukrainian military that has no means to resist the Russian army. Ukrainian units are still being grinded on the battlefields only thanks to foreign military supplies and assistance including in the rear, on the frontlines and in the air, where NATO reconnaissance aircraft are coordinating strikes on the Russian territory. Ukrainian servicemen and NATO ‘military instructors’ have never faced any obstacles when launching strikes with foreign weapons on the Russian territory.
The ongoing claims of NATO officials are mainly aimed to create the necessary public image, show their support to Kiev and political unity against the ‘common enemy’ aim the upcoming elections in the US and Brussels.
In response to escalation, Moscow maintains a tough stance. The weapons the West transferred to support the AFU militants are legitimate targets for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that the Russian Armed Forces will take all necessary measures to neutralize all threats. Moscow warned about preparing an asymmetric response.
