Russia Keeps Attacking U.S. Firms in Ukraine. The White House Is Silent.

The Russian drones slammed into the American-owned warehouses one after another.

Each announced its arrival with an eerie whine. Then came the blasts, ripping through a vast grain terminal in southern Ukraine and lighting up the night sky.

Seven drones in three minutes. The target, according to a video of the mid-April attack recorded by a truck driver, was the U.S. farming giant Cargill.

“This is insane,” the driver is heard repeating in the video, which was obtained and verified by The New York Times. “This is insane.”

The attack was one of the latest in a series of Russian strikes on major American companies since last summer, including facilities tied to Coca-Cola, Boeing, the snacks maker Mondelez and the tobacco giant Philip Morris.
