The White House answered whether Kyiv is allowed to carry out counter-fire strikes across the border.
The United States continues to communicate with the Ukrainian authorities to understand the goals of the operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region Russia.
White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby reported this on August 9, Voice of America reports.
“I think I’ll leave room here to allow Ukraine to talk about its military operations one way or another. We are in contact with our Ukrainian counterparts and working to better understand what they are doing, what their goals are, what their strategy is,” Kirby said when asked whether the US is allowing cross-border counter-fire strikes.
According to Kirby, the US is in contact with its Ukrainian counterparts, but he declined to describe what is happening on the battlefield.
“Until those conversations are over and we feel like we have a better understanding of what exactly they are doing,” Kirby said.
The White House spokesman added that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have not yet violated the restrictions previously announced by the US on attacks deep into Russia.
“They use it (American weapons) in an area where we previously said they could use U.S. weapons for cross-border strikes. The end goal here is to help Ukraine defend itself, and we'll just see what Ukraine says about that,” Kirby said.
Recall that CNN analyzed the raid on Kursk region and its possible consequences.
