It is noted that Russia has accused the United States of attacking temporarily occupied Crimea, claiming the peninsula was fired by ATACMS missiles that the United States provided to Ukraine.
"Ukraine makes its own targeting decisions and conducts its own military operations", Pentagon spokesman Major Charlie Dietz said.
At the same time, a White House National Security Council spokesman said that any civilian deaths are a tragedy.
"That certainly includes the thousands of innocent Ukrainians who have been killed by Russian forces since the beginning of this Russian war of aggression", the spokesman said.
- On Sunday, June 23, occupiers complained about the alleged sounds of explosions in various areas of Sevastopol. They claim that air defense shot down 4 ATACMS missiles and there are 2 dead.
