The use of the Ukrainian an army of American equipment and weapons in the operation in the Kursk region does not contradict US policy, as long as the APU does not strike deep into Russian territory. This was stated by a spokesman for the Pentagon, quoted by the AP.
"The use of American weapons is consistent with US policy, and we have from the beginning supported Ukraine in defending it from strikes across the border [...]. They are taking action to protect themselves from strikes from an area that US policy says is among the areas where they can use our weapons,'' said Sabrina Singh, a deputy spokeswoman for the US Department of Defense.
So she answered a reporter's question about the use of American equipment in the operation in the Kursk region.
"We do not support long-range strikes against Russia,", Singh explained. - "But when they get hit across the border, they have to be able to respond, and that kind of cease-fire response across the border is what you're seeing.
According to unconfirmed, unverified statements from Russian military telegram channels, on August 7 and 8 forward mobile units of the Ukrainian army penetrated up to 30 km into Russian territory in the Kursk region.
