Pentagon: The United States is not afraid of escalation from Russia due to events in the Kursk region
Kyiv • UNN
The Pentagon stated that it sees no escalation due to Ukraine's actions in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. The US will continue to support Ukraine with the necessary systems for success on the battlefield.
The United States sees no possibility of further escalation in the conflict with Russia due to Ukraine's alleged advance in the Kursk region. Deputy Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said this during a briefing , UNN reports .
Details
In particular, she answered journalists' questions about the possible increase in tension in connection with the events in the Kursk region and the Pentagon's concerns about this.
No (the United States is not concerned about a possible escalation - ed.) because, at the end of the day, Ukraine is fighting for its sovereign territory, which has been invaded by its neighbor. So, if we want to de-escalate tensions, as we've said from the beginning, the best way to do that is for Putin to make a decision today to withdraw his troops from Ukraine
According to her, Ukraine will do everything possible to continue to return its sovereign territory. She also emphasized that the events in the Kursk region fit into this scenario.
We will continue to support Ukraine with the capabilities and systems it needs. We do not feel that this is in any way leading to an escalation. Ukraine is doing what it needs to do to be successful on the battlefield
Recall
The Washington Post reports that Ukrainian officials have asked the U.S. to authorize the use of ATACMS missiles to strike Russian airfields
