U.S. Reaction to Ukraine’s Sinking of Moskva: Anger and Surprise
The Biden administration was taken aback by Ukraine's unexpected sinking of the Russian cruiser Moskva in April 2022, according to recent reports. The incident, which was a significant blow to the Russian navy, led to a wave of anger and surprise within U.S. political and military circles. The Moskva, the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, was hit by Ukrainian Neptune missiles, an event that was not anticipated by U.S. intelligence.
The reaction in the U.S. has been detailed in various sources, with The New York Times and Kyiv Independent reporting on the initial shock and subsequent strategic recalibrations by American officials. The sinking of the Moskva not only highlighted Ukraine's military capabilities but also shifted the dynamics of the ongoing conflict with Russia. U.S. officials expressed concerns over the escalation of hostilities and the potential for a broader conflict.
Further reports from Pravda and Ukrinform shed light on the internal discussions and the sense of urgency that gripped U.S. decision-makers following the incident. The event has prompted a reassessment of U.S. support for Ukraine and the broader implications for NATO and international security.
