Victoria Nuland Clarifies That US Supports Ukrainian Attacks On Crimea

https://t.co/uaKj5m8m8j ZH

If I were sitting in Moscow in any kind of real decision making role,
I would point out that Crimea is now well out of the military frontlines, and any long range attacks by Ukraine likely amounts to an attack on civilians.

So I would respond to this clarification by making it official that Moscow supports direct attacks on those western officials who urge on escalation of any kind.
