The Kremlin on Monday called the Sunday strike from Ukraine on a crowded Sevastopol beach "barbaric" and accused the US of "killing Russian children" - given that ATACMS missiles were allegedly used. The attack killed four people, including two children, and injured over 150 more.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in a statement while in Minsk that the US-supplied system "cannot be used without the direct participation of the American military, including satellite capabilities." He reiterated there will be consequences.
This angry denunciation from Moscow is to be expected, but much more rare is that a sitting Congressional member agrees that Washington should have no business assisting with attacks on Russian civilians who are on vacation at beaches.
Congresswoman and outspoken conservative Marjorie Taylor Greene has said this simply shouldn't be happening in a fresh message on X.
