Russia accused the US of direct involvement in the war in Ukraine for the first time on Tuesday.

The Kremlin had previously accused the US of fighting a "proxy war", but Russian officials have stepped up the accusation by saying the Biden administration was approving targets for American-made Himars rocket launchers.

Lt Gen Igor Konashenkov, a spokesman for Moscow's defence ministry, said the US is "directly responsible" for rocket attacks which killed civilians in the Donbas region. Intercepted calls between Ukrainian officials proved this, he said.

Most Ukrainians would disagree or wouldn't care. They are fighting for their survival as a people.

Really? Did any of the bombing of Russian territory in Donbas come close to the massive destruction by the Russians of cities with large ethnic Russian populations?

 

'They bomb us because they can't beat us': Kharkiv civilians suffer as Russia runs out of options

The city of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest, was a bustling metropolis just a month ago. Chic eateries and sleek shopping malls sat alongside elegant neo-baroque architecture in what had been a rapidly developing urban centre.

Now, large areas of the city resemble Stalingrad more than Stuttgart, as Kharkiv falls victim to what locals and experts say is a Russian strategy of targeting civilians.
