The Kremlin’s claim that the attacks were carried out with the support of the USA, after a group from Ukraine infiltrated the Bryansk region of the Klimovski town of Russia to sabotage and the Ukrainian army hit some targets on Russian soil, was met with reaction in the Pentagon.
Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Ryder said: “I’ve seen some reports from Russian officials claiming that the United States, first of all, has somehow provided information to enable such attacks. We are not telling the Ukrainians where to strike.
Let me be clear, the idea that we are providing the Ukrainians with intelligence or information to target locations inside Russia is nonsense. We are not at war with Russia, and we are not after a war with Russia,” he said.
Ryder, on the other hand, stated that they consulted for the use of weapons given to Ukraine only within Ukraine and for the defense of Ukrainian lands.
