MAJOR ESCALATION: Russia Strikes U.S. Electronics Company In Ukraine

[Conservative Angle]

​

Things are getting heated in the Ukraine-Russia War.

Russia, in one of its most significant military strikes since the war began, launched hundreds of drones and missiles into Ukraine on Thursday morning.

One of the strikes hit an American-owned electronics company in Zakarpattia, Ukraine.

Fox News reported more on the escalations:

In one of the largest overnight strikes since the war began, Russia unleashed some 614 drones, ballistic and cruise missiles across Ukraine, killing one, injuring dozens and destroying an American-owned electronics company less than an hour from two NATO borders, officials confirmed Thursday morning.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksyy said the strike on the private U.S. company, which involved “several” cruise missiles, was “very telling” following President Donald Trump’s attempts to force Moscow to end its invasion.

“Last night, the Russian army set one of its insane anti-records,” Zelenskyy said. “They targeted civilian infrastructure facilities, residential buildings, and our people.

“Several cruise missiles were lobbed against an American-owned enterprise in Zakarpattia,” he continued, describing the company as “a regular civilian business, supported by American investment, producing everyday items like coffee machines.”

“And yet, it was also a target for the Russians. This is very telling,” Zelenskyy added.

The American business is known as Flex Ltd., whose corporate headquarters is in Austin, Texas, but which has business locations across the globe, confirmed to Fox News Digital that the facility only produces civilian consumer goods.

“This facility does not produce, supply, or support any military equipment or defense-related components,” a spokesperson for the company said.

Following the attack, the spokesperson said that “emergency protocols were executed” and the site was fully evacuated.

Russia’s strikes came hours before Trump greenlighted Ukraine to go on the offensive against Russia.

The U.S. President suggests that Ukraine must attack Russia in order to win the war against Putin. Sounds like a policy shift is coming…

CNN gave more context on Trump’s latest comments on the war:

President Donald Trump on Thursday appeared to offer a rationale for Ukraine to go on offense against Russia, notable rhetoric as the momentum around peace talks has stalled.

“It is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invaders country. It’s like a great team in sports that has a fantastic defense, but is not allowed to play offense. There is no chance of winning! It is like that with Ukraine and Russia,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

He continued, “Crooked and grossly incompetent Joe Biden would not let Ukraine FIGHT BACK, only DEFEND. How did that work out? Regardless, this is a war that would have NEVER happened if I were President – ZERO CHANCE. Interesting times ahead!!!”

Trump’s rhetoric may touch a nerve in Moscow, which regards any support of Ukrainian strikes on its soil as a red line. During the Biden administration, it was long-standing policy that Ukraine could not launch long-range American-made missiles into Russia. After that changed in November 2024 — following pressure from US allies — Russia updated its nuclear doctrine, confirming that it would consider any assault on it supported by a nuclear power to be a joint attack.
