Biden Administration Responds to Reports of Ukraine Bombing Civilian Area in Russia

The Biden administration, which has stalwartly and generously supported Ukraine in its resistance to the Russian invasion of its homeland—with that backing including money, weapons, equipment, training, and other resources valued at tens of billions of dollars–has been put on the defensive with reports that Ukraine conducted an attack on Russian civilians.  

As well, there is speculation that Ukraine may have used weapons it received from the United States in the attack. 

On May 30, Russia said that Ukraine mounted a drone attack on residential apartment buildings in Moscow, the capital of Russia. If true, it would be the first Ukraine attack on Russian residential spaces since the war began on Feb. 24, 2022. 

Within the past few weeks, Russia has stepped up aerial bombing of Ukraine, with a focus on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. 

Unmanned aerial drones have become staples of the conflict between the nations. 

A complication for the Biden administration, if it is discovered that Ukraine had targeted Russian civilians, is that Ukraine, viewed globally as a heroic underdog to the powerful Russian bear (which holds the most nuclear warheads of all nations), would cede some of its moral advantage.
