Jim Gilmore to Newsmax: Ukraine Missile Attack 'Responsibility of Russia'

Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore told Newsmax on Wednesday that the recent missile attack by Ukraine against targets inside Russia “is the responsibility of Russia” for starting the invasion.

The Biden administration earlier this week gave Ukraine’s government permission to use long-range U.S.-made ballistic missiles against a Russian weapons arsenal in Bryansk, the first time these weapons have been fired beyond the Russian border.

Gilmore, the former U.S. ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), told “Wake Up America” that the rocket attack by Ukraine gives the embattled nation “a tool” they can use to fight “an aggression like we haven’t seen since World War II.”
