US Senator: Ukraine's operation in Kursk region could change the course of the war
Kyiv • UNN
Democratic Senator Mark Kelly said that Ukraine's actions in the Kursk region of Russia could change the course of the war. He supported the use of American weapons on Russian territory in the context of Russia's illegal invasion.
Democratic Senator Mark Kelly said on Sunday that Ukraine's decision to respond to the ongoing Russian invasion with an operation in the Kursk region of Russia could change the course of the war. Politico reports UNN.

Speaking on the CBS program “Face the Nation,” the Arizona Democrat said: ”130,000 Russians have been forced to leave their homes, and at this point in this conflict, I think the Ukrainians have done something unpredictable that could really change the course of this conflict.
When asked whether he was "satisfied" with the use of American weapons on Russian territory, he replied: "At the moment, yes.
“Ukrainians have been illegally attacked by Vladimir Putin. .... He deliberately killed women, children, and the elderly. It was an illegal invasion. It's an invasion, and I just, let's characterize it this way for now. I don't think Ukrainians want to deliberately hold Russian territory for a long period of time, but it really has put Putin on his heels.
Kelly added: “Since the invasion, now more than two years ago, we have, you know, periodically, as is appropriate, reassessed how we're going to handle the Ukrainians' use of the security assistance that we're providing them. And I think it's appropriate to continue to study their needs.
Kelly said that Ukraine's offensive should teach the Russians that President Vladimir Putin is not the “peerless defender” he has made himself out to be.
“He has always tried to present himself as a man who will protect Russia. I think his citizens are seeing the results of what he's done in Ukraine...”, Kelly said.
Details
On Sunday, it was reported that Ukrainian troops destroyed a second bridge in the Kursk region, limiting Russia's ability to supply its troops.
Deep State reports that the Ukrainian military has taken control of Opanasivka, a military base and a cut-off point, and advanced in Olgivka, Kursk region.
