Russia convinced: US helped Ukraine to attack the Black Sea fleet

Last Friday, the Ukrainian army attacked the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. In addition to 34 officers, another 105 people were injured in the attack.

In response, Moscow has accused USA and Great Britain. The two countries are accused of helping in the attack on the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol. “There is not the slightest doubt that the attack was planned in advance using Western intelligence assets, NATO satellite equipment and reconnaissance aircraft,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova is quoted by the German news website n-tv.de . The missile attack had been carried out in “close coordination with the American and British intelligence services.”

This information comes from a party to the conflict and has not yet been independently verified and/or confirmed. For this reason, they are to be evaluated with reservations. In war, it can be advantageous for parties to the conflict to deliberately disseminate false information in order to strengthen their own position or to weaken that of the opponent.
