What the State Department said about permission to strike deep into Russia

When asked to comment on media reports about permission to strike deep into Russia, a US State Department spokesman said that “today I have no reports of a change in our politics”.

After this, Miller recalled the role of the United States in supporting Ukraine, in particular the creation of the Contact Group on issues of supporting Ukraine and holding Russia accountable for its actions.

He refused to talk about permission for ATACMS strikes on Russia and when asked to comment on the statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry on this matter, which warned the United States against escalating the “conflict”.

Miller emphasized that it was Russia that “every now and then led to escalation of the conflict”.

In particular, let us recall the last few months, when Russia enlisted the support of more than 11 thousand North Korean troops, who are now on the front line in the Kursk region and are conducting military operations against the Ukrainian military. This is a significant escalation on the part of Russia, the US State Department representative summed up.
