The United States has asked Kiev for an explanation about the attack on the Kursk region

Washington has asked the Ukrainian authorities to provide information about the Ukrainian Armed Forces attack on the Russian Kursk region. This was stated at a briefing for journalists by the coordinator for strategic communications in The White House National Security Council, John Kirby.

"As you might expect, we turned to our Ukrainian colleagues to better understand [the situation in the Kursk region]," Kirby said, quoted by TASS.

So the representative of the White House responded to a request to comment on the Ukrainian Armed Forces raid on the Kursk region.

"Nothing has changed in our policy regarding supporting or encouraging strikes or attacks [by the Ukrainian Armed Forces] on Russian territory, beyond, of course, what we allowed them to do in the past with the help of US—supplied weapons, namely to strike at immediate threats on the other side of the border," he stressed.
