Ukraine has every right to conduct military operations on the territory of the Russian Federation to defend itself.
This was stated by the American Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and his colleague from the Democratic Party Richard Blumenthal during a briefing in Kyiv. They supported the operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region of Russia.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation — what Graham and Blumenthal said
— What Ukraine is doing now in the Kursk region is incredible! Keep it up! When Russia launched a full-scale invasion, many did not believe that Ukraine would survive. But now we see that Ukraine has not only survived, but has become stronger, — Lindsey Graham said.
The United States should lift all restrictions on the use of American weapons to strike Russia, the Republican senator believes.

According to Lindsey Graham, it is necessary to increase military support to bring Ukraine's victory closer, despite the presence of F-16 fighters in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Richard Blumenthal also supported military action on Russian territory. They noted that the United States intends to support Ukraine in the long term.
At the same time, Lindsey Graham is convinced that the time has come to extend an invitation to Ukraine to join NATO, preferably this year. He called on US President Joe Biden to ensure that this invitation is extended before he leaves office.
