The Russian foreign ministry summoned U.S. ambassador Lynne Tracy following a deadly Ukrainian attack on a Black Sea port in Crimea that killed four people and injured more than 150 over the weekend, giving her a chilling warning that indicates a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries.
In a statement, the Russian foreign ministry said that Washington “has effectively become a party” to the war on the side of Ukraine. Russia’s message for Tracy during the meeting reportedly included the assertion that “We are no longer at peace.” It might not be a direct declaration of war, but it’s certainly something the U.S. should worry about.
The harsh warning came after the deadly Ukrainian missile strike on the port city of Sevastopol in Crimea. Two children were among those who died in the attack; they were reportedly hit by falling debris that came from the Ukrainian missiles. It took place while the beach was crowded with visitors enjoying the summer. Footage of the incident showed beachgoers fleeing from the falling debris in sheer panic as the injured were carried away on sun beds.
According to Russia, the missiles were American-made ATACMS long-range guided missiles, which means that the U.S. is responsible in their view. The U.S. has supplied Kyiv with these missiles for more than a year, and they enable Ukrainian forces to strike targets as far as 186 miles away.
Although the U.S. has demanded that Ukraine avoid using the weapons it supplies to them to strike Russian territory, Crimea is not considered Russian territory by most countries because it was annexed by Russia from Ukraine in 2014.
