“V“We will contact the Ukrainian army to learn more about their objectives,” spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters in response to a question about the operation, which has led to the evacuation of thousands of civilians from both sides of the border.
Washington supports the “common sense” actions taken by Ukraine to stop attacks by Russian forces, he added.
In May, US President Joe Biden authorized Kiev to use US weapons to strike targets on Russian territory near the Kharkiv region in the northeast of the country, which was under attack from Russia.
But US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby reiterated that “nothing has changed” in US policy, which opposes any Ukrainian strike on Russian territory.
On Tuesday, Ukrainian troops launched an incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, prompting the evacuation of thousands of people on both sides of the border. Fighting continued today.
State Department spokesman Matthew Miller criticized the comments by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who denounced a “provocation on a grand scale.”
Calling it a provocation is “a bit strong, considering that Russia violated Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty,” he said.
