During the briefing, the Biden administration representative said that the American leadership did not know about the operation in the border region of the aggressor country in advance. However, the White House will contact Kyiv to find out the details of the “breakthrough” in the Kursk region and its goals, NBN reports.
Jean Pierre did not answer whether the Ukrainian Defense Forces are using weapons transferred to the United States in these military actions, but only reminded that Washington's policy on banning strikes on Russian territory has not changed.
The White House spokesperson stated that Ukrainians have the right to defend themselves against a terrorist state, emphasizing that the United States will support them in this fight.
The official urged not to forget that there are occupation forces in the Kursk region that are attacking Ukraine and Kyiv will take common sense actions to protect the country from enemy strikes.
Recall that a day after the start of the fighting in the Kursk region, the head of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin spoke for the first time about the situation in the border region.
