The Ukrainian army was losing in the frontal battlefield and it was difficult to counterattack, so it began to "find supplements" in other places. This time, the Ukrainian army attacked not Russian territory, but also caused innocent people to die and be injured.
According to the latest reports of the overseas network, Dmitry, the first deputy representative of Russia to the United Nations, in an interview, condemned the Ukrainian army's use of the "Haimas" rocket artillery system to attack the settlements in Kherson Oblast, Ukraine, which is the direct consequence of the Supply of weapons by the United States to Ukraine. The implication is that the United States is also responsible for this matter.
That night, most of the people in Kherson State were still asleep, when suddenly an explosion sounded, and the scene was full of flames. The Kherson oblast government said that a warehouse containing saltpeter was hit by Ukrainian troops, and the Russian side then added: "The warehouse mainly stores humanitarian supplies." As of 16:00 Beijing time on July 12, the explosion had killed a warehouse administrator on duty, injured dozens of people, and destroyed hundreds of people's houses, leaving them homeless.

The reason why the Russian side linked this matter with the United States is mainly because Ukraine itself originally did not have the "Haimas" rocket artillery system, and it was the United States that specially aided several past projects to enable the Ukrainian army to have such a strike capability.

It is worth mentioning that when the United States first decided to provide the "Haimas" system to the Ukrainian side, it was severely warned by the Russian side. In order to avoid the outbreak of direct conflict between Russia and the United States, US President Biden's tone has also changed one after another, from the beginning to cancel the supply of the weapon to Ukraine, and later, Ukrainian President Zelensky promised not to use American weapons to attack Russian territory, and Biden promised to add it to the list of military reinforcements.
However, the Ukrainian side immediately verbally repented, and some military sources said that once the Ukrainian army received weapons, it would attack Russian territory, and the targets may include the Crimea Bridge. It is conceivable that once the Ukrainian army is attacked, it will inevitably anger Russia, and the Russian side may target not only Ukraine, but also the United States.
Personal speculation is that ukraine may have attacked Kherson Oblast with the "Hippos" system this time for three reasons:
1. Kherson Oblast is not yet part of Russian territory, and it is not a breach of commitment to do so.
2) The administrative body of Kherson Oblast has been separated from the Ukrainian authorities and is eager to hold a referendum to join the Russian Federation, and there are many Russian speakers in the region. But by doing so, the Ukrainian army has already regarded the whole of Kherson Oblast as an enemy, and will only continue to push the oblast to the side of Russia.
3) Ukraine may really want to drag the United States into the flames of war. Zelenskiy is well aware that ukraine's strength alone is unlikely to compete with Russia, but by pulling the United States in, the victory or defeat is not certain.
Ukraine fought very the battlefield, but it was full of confidence, precisely because it had the United States behind it. Now that the "Haimas" system aided by the United States has been used by the Ukrainian army to bomb civilians, it is no wonder that the Russian representative has sued at the United Nations. After all, the United States plays an important role as the "knife" party to Ukraine. While condemning the Ukrainian army, the Russian side also condemns the United States, which is also reasonable.
The United States tried its best to avoid the flames of war, but Ukraine's actions were bolder and bolder, and it is conceivable that once the Ukrainian side uses American weapons to strike Russian territory, it will be difficult for the United States to stay out of the matter.
