The Russian Defense Ministry placed responsibility for the attack on Washington, saying that all flight specifications for the use of the Atacms are provided by US specialists based on their satellite reconnaissance data. “For this reason, the responsibility for the deliberate missile attack against civilians in Sevastopol falls first and foremost on Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, and on the Kiev regime, from whose territory the attack was carried out,” the ministry, according to the Interfax and Tass agencies, adding that such actions “will not go unpunished”.
