The United States does not push Ukraine to operations within the Russian Federation - the White House

In an interview with ABC, the US Coordinator on Strategic Communications in the White House National Security Council said that the United States did not encourage the escalation of a military conflict in Ukraine, as it does not benefit the Ukrainian people or Washington's interests. Kirby's statement was made in the context of a series of blows that were recently caused by the Russian aerodromes "Engels" and "Diagilevo".

According to the American official, the White House does not encourage and does not support such operations of the Ukrainian military in the Russian Federation. "I will allow the Ukrainian armed forces to talk about our operations. We do not encourage or support Ukrainian operations in Russia. We try to make sure that they will be able to protect our territory and win their lands in Ukraine," Kirby said.

The White House Representative noted that since the beginning of hostilities, the United States monitors the risks of escalation of conflict, since Washington believes that exacerbation of the situation in Ukraine will not benefit Ukrainians and Russians, and will not be useful for the US interests.

At the same time, Kirby emphasized that against the backdrop of recent statements by President Vladimir Putin, who "complete determination to continue the war against Ukraine", Washington announced an increase in the volume of military assistance to Ukraine to protect its territories. "It is difficult to say exactly what Putin thinks at one time or another, and trying to penetrate his brain is a stupid occupation. We judge him from his actions.

And what we see in the place is a person who is determined to continue war against Ukraine. That is why on Friday we announced an increase in security assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces to continue to recruit their territories, "Kirby stressed. Earlier it was reported that on December 5, satellite images appeared on the network, which shows the effects of a blow to the Diagilevo aircraft in the Ryazan region.
