Reuters reports.

The publication clarifies that these ammunition were used during an attempt to strike the airfield in Dzhankoy. American media add that for the first time, versions of missiles with a range of hitting targets of 300 km were delivered to Ukraine. Let us remind you that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported about the interception of six MGM-140 ATACMS operational-tactical missiles on April 18.

A Pentagon spokesman confirmed information about the secret transfer of these munitions to the Russian news agency today. RIA News. At the same time, Washington reported that it allowed Kyiv to use missiles “only within sovereign Ukrainian territory.”

The Pentagon spokesman added that ATACMS supplies were not disclosed at the request of the Ukrainian side.

      Well, there is clearly one character in Moscow who always hopes that there are only knights around and they give him the word of a “boy”, which they will then keep

    What if Russia secretly supplies Iran with Iskanders “to carry out attacks on sovereign Palestinian territory”?

      Yes, easily. We ourselves shout at every corner that the world should not live “by the rules,” and at the same time we always hope that the “rules” will be followed. Don't you find this strange?
      And no one breaks any laws - simply because there are none. That's how we live..

    It’s a pity that we haven’t heard about the transfer of modern Russian anti-ship systems to the Houthis and missiles from Solntsepek to the Mexican drug cartels. There would be a squeal.

    Those who follow the news have already been aware of this for a long time.
    Here is the recent attack on Crimea.

    What a bastard!
    We also need to hand over something to the Syrians, the Houthis...... Moreover, with knocked down numbers and erased inscriptions, and maybe also captured weapons...

    A good attempt to prolong the war for Russia. They themselves are already switching to China and have begun to put pressure. Iran and Israel have been put on pause.
