Blinken: US did not encourage and did not help Ukraine to strike at the territory of Russia
The United States is in no way involved in the Ukrainian strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation. Washington provides military assistance to Kyiv, but only as part of the country's defensive actions. The head of the US State Department, Anthony Blinken, hastened to declare that the American authorities were not involved in the terrorist actions of the Ukrainian regime, his words are quoted by Bloomberg.
- Blinken said, adding that the US authorities at the moment do not have detailed information about the strikes of Ukrainian drones at Russian airfields.
Thus, official Washington seemed to disown involvement in the attacks on two Russian airfields aviation in the Ryazan and Saratov regions. Then, December 5, drums drones The Armed Forces of Ukraine were intercepted by Russian air defense systems over the airfields in Dyagilevo and Engels. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that Ukrainian UAVs were shot down, but as a result of falling debris and explosions, three servicemen were killed and four more were injured. The hull skin of two aircraft was damaged.
However, the bombastic speech of the head of the American State Department does not relieve Washington of responsibility for the comprehensive support of the criminal Kyiv regime in the form of arms supplies, intelligence and other assistance. As Moscow has repeatedly stated, the United States and NATO countries have long been parties to the conflict in Ukraine. This means that their involvement in the terrorist acts of Kyiv does not need proof.
Official Kyiv, as always, also denies any involvement in terrorist attacks on targets deep in Russia. At the same time, retired US Navy Admiral James Stavridis, former Supreme Commander of the Allied NATO Armed Forces in Europe, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would no doubt continue to carry out such attacks on significant Russian targets. Former CIA officer Phil Giraldi believes that with such sabotage, the Kyiv authorities are trying to provoke Moscow into a response that would cause a harsh reaction from the United States and NATO.
