Russia Accuses Ukraine's Western Allies of Involvement in Missile Attack on Black Sea Fleet Base

Moscow claimed on Wednesday that last week's missile attack on the Black Sea Fleet base in Crimea was carried out with the intelligence and military assistance of Ukraine's Western allies. The spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry stated, "There is no doubt that this attack was designed using Western intelligence tools, NATO satellite equipment, and reconnaissance aircraft, and was executed with the recommendations of American and British security agencies and in close coordination with them." This claim comes as the U.S. and its allies have repeatedly denied direct involvement in the Ukraine war. Unconfirmed reports suggest that 'Storm Shadow' missiles sent by Britain to Ukraine were used in the attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet base last Friday. Meanwhile, Russia claimed that Admiral Viktor Sokolov, the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, who Ukraine alleged was killed in last week's missile attack, is still alive. Crimea was seized by Russia from Ukraine in 2014 and has since been targeted by Ukrainian military attacks. The Ukrainian army: We have created 'hell' for the Russians with Western weaponry. Conflicting reports about the targeting of three Ukrainian drones over Crimea. Verification: Putin lies about the reasons for withdrawing from the grain agreement. Ukrainian drones attacked a Russian cruiser after covering '740 kilometers'. Security Council meeting: Russia is under international pressure to extend the agreement. Zelensky: The export of Black Sea grain will continue 'with Russia' or 'without Russia.'
