Pentagon spokeswoman: Ammunition at the disposal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is capable of reaching Crimea

Pentagon officials are increasingly making it clear that they are directly involved in the armed conflict in Ukraine. Recently, the number of comments from various levels of employees of the US military department has increased manifold. Among other commentators on the state of affairs in Ukraine is the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense of the United States (with a budget of 830 billion, there is such a position in the Pentagon) Laura Cooper.

According to L. Cooper, who spoke in an interview with PBS, "Ukraine has in its arsenal guided missiles with a range of up to 80 km." These are GMLRS, which can be produced, among other things, with the help of Hymars installations.

Laura Cooper says that "this ammunition is able to reach most targets on the front."

US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense:

We believe that Ukrainian troops are capable of attacking the vast majority of targets with these missiles, including those in Crimea.

The representative of the American military department is clearly disingenuous. If the United States handed over missiles with a range of only up to 80 km to Ukraine, then from the positions currently occupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they will not reach Crimea. This means that either more long-range missiles have already been transferred to Ukraine, or the calculation is that the Ukrainian army will be sent to advance at any cost in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. On the eve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they occupied several villages in the north-east of the Kherson region at once.

      Yes, no one doubted. This is a common mattress practice. And so nothing new. The country either fights using ALL means to achieve the main goal, VICTORY, or they wipe their feet on it. And in the Crimea they already got it.

        In the Second World War, ours even got to Berlin! And even bridges were blown up and trains went downhill! Do we need victory today? Why does the weapon reach the front?

      Ukraine has not yet spent all Tornadoes.
      From Nikolaev, they already shot at the Crimea.
      The dream is to destroy the Crimean bridge.
      But there is nothing to get to him yet.

      Crimea is Ukraine, she also said. Alaska is ours and is not discussed.

      My opinion is that some kind of "misunderstanding" between the RF Armed Forces and politicians, definitely someone is sabotaging the conduct of hostilities, becomes sad from the state of affairs at the front. It's time to stop pleasing the Bandera people, Kyiv should have been drowning in its own shit in the spring, and so all communications work

      The army has the means of waging war, but the methods of conducting it are determined by politicians .... Hence the intermediate results of the NWO ....., we have what we have and allow us to do what we have ....

      I agree with the author. After all, the Americans began to supply heavy weapons to Ukraine long before the start of our NMD, but they assured that they were supplying only light weapons and anti-tank systems exclusively for self-defense. And of course, the Americans dream that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would move as far as possible and as quickly as possible.

      If the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to retreat at the same pace, giving up territory to the enemy, then dill will soon reach not only the Crimea, but also Rostov. Although if they had reached out to Rublyovka, maybe something had come to the Kremlin that it was conducting the NVO somehow not correctly.

      Antonov said yesterday that Russia views America as a party to the conflict. This is certainly a partially official voice... but still not official enough to build further policy on this narrative. It is very important that not only in the Foreign Ministry, but even at a higher level, a decision be made to recognize NATO and the States as a party to the conflict. Otherwise, they will soon put Minutemen near Dnepropetrovsk!

      Only Ukrainians, especially women, understand the American mentality. I dare to assume that long-range ammunition is already on the territory of Poland.

      When will Russia finally run out of patience? America will drag out the conflict in Ukraine as long as possible. She will act harder and harder. Everything is bolder and bolder!
