The White House is reaching out to Ukraine to understand the motives behind Kyiv’s recent cross-border incursion into Russian territory. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that the U.S. supports Ukraine’s actions to defend itself against Russian attacks. President Joe Biden previously permitted Kyiv to use American weapons to repel Russian advancements near the Kharkiv region.
Despite this, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby emphasized that there is no change in the U.S. policy discouraging broader strikes or attacks within Russia. Thousands of civilians have been evacuated as Ukraine continues its incursion into the Kursk region. The U.S. State Department dismissed Russia’s criticisms, highlighting Russia’s previous violations of Ukraine’s sovereignty.
