The Pentagon has stated that Ukraine makes its own targeting decisions following Russia's direct blame on the United States for an attack on Crimea. Russia claims the attack, which killed at least four people and injured 151, was carried out using US-supplied ATACMS missiles. A Pentagon spokesperson reiterated that Ukraine is responsible for its military operations and targeting decisions, although some sources argue that Ukraine cannot operate ATACMS without US assistance.
