US hesitates over use of its weapons by Ukrainian Armed Forces in Kursk region - Reuters
Kyiv • UNN
The United States considers Ukraine's invasion of Kursk region a defensive move, but expresses concern about further advancement. Washington is trying to determine Ukraine's goals and assess the use of American weapons.
So far, the United States considers Ukraine's unexpected invasion of the Kursk region of Russia a defensive move that allows Kyiv to use American equipment, but it has expressed concern about possible complications as Ukrainian troops advance deeper into Russian territory. This was reported by Reuters, according to UNN.
Details
U.S. officials said Kyiv's main goals remain unclear.
This complicates the policy all the more the more they move into Russia without any conditions,
According to him, if Ukraine starts seizing villages and other non-military targets using American weapons and equipment, it could raise questions about whether it is within the restrictions imposed by Washington.
Another official said that Washington's arms policy is not designed for Ukraine to invade Russia, although Kyiv technically complies with these restrictions. As a result, he said, the administration of President Joe Biden has not taken a strong public position in support or condemnation of the operation.
It was unclear what kind of U.S.-made weapons or equipment were used during the invasion.
The administration is working to determine what Ukraine's real goals are in its offensive, which U.S. officials say took Washington by surprise.
Recall
US President Joe Biden saidthat the invasion of the Kursk region by Ukrainian troops poses a difficult question for Putin. Biden confirmed constant contact with the Ukrainians, but refused to comment on the details of the active phase of the operation.
