Russia on Wednesday accused Ukraine’s Western allies of helping plan and conduct last week’s missile strike on the Black Sea Fleet’s headquarters on the annexed Crimean Peninsula.

“There is no doubt that the attack had been planned in advance using Western intelligence means, NATO satellite assets and reconnaissance planes and was implemented upon the advice of American and British security agencies and in close coordination with them,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing.

Moscow has repeatedly claimed that the U.S. and its NATO allies have effectively become involved in the conflict by supplying weapons to Ukraine and providing it with intelligence information and helping plan attacks on Russian facilities.

Remember when US intelligence announced ahead of the invasion that Russia was going to invade based on false pretenses?

Providing Ukraine with intelligence about the invasion literally predates the invasion.

So, let me get this straight.

Russia is upset that Ukraine's allies are acting like, well allies.

yep we did, now go and fuck yourself Russia.

They lost their navy to a country that doesn't have one.

They really should just pack up and go home.

They lost the flagship. The rest of the Black Sea fleet still needs to be destroyed.

I've read that those ATACMS they are about to receive can do just the trick too.

Current count is 5 patrol boats, 5 landing ships, 1 cruiser (Moskva), 1 sub, 1 corvette, 1 rescue tug and 1 minesweeper if Wikipedia is to be believed

So you're saying military aggression sucks, but only when it happens to you? Wow. You were so close to empathy.

I mean it was crimea so it technically was not even happening to them. I mean its not their land or water rights.

Awww, does the big bully not like that their victim has friends smarter than them?

If you don't want shit, don't start shit.

Yeah we did it.

So fucking what?

You gonna cry?

You gonna fuck around & find out what a 3-day war actually looks like?

Well yeah probably. Not exactly a secret that the United States and Europe help coordinate with Ukraine and help provide intel. Sounds like Russian soldiers may have been of assistance too in this specific case.

Yeah, so?

What the fuck are they going to do about it?

I dare them to declare war on a NATO country.

I thought it wasn't a big deal since nothing happened at the headquater and nobody was injured or anything and if anything the great russian air defence surely caught all attempts to harm the headquaters

Haven’t they been saying the whole time the west is involved, what’s the difference?

I hope we're guilty as accused.

Nato has been giving Ukraine intelligence since the "3 day special military operation" started

"Waaaah our enemies aren't rolling over when we demand them to waaaaah"

"Waaaaaaah our enemies have allies they use to win the war waaaaaah"

Stop crying, you started the war.

but...but..butbutthey shot down all the missiles, and they just fell onto the command center by accident!
