The United States Department of Defense emphasizes that Ukraine has the right to defend itself.
Washington does not know who carried out strikes on Russian territory, because the Pentagon does not communicate with Ukraine all the attacks carried out by Ukrainian defenders. This was announced on Wednesday, December 7, in a statement by Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh.
At the same time, he noted that the United States “supplies weapons and systems” that the Ukrainian side needs to protect its territories. But they do not interfere in strategic decision making.
“They make decisions on the ground about the targets, about when they will carry out the operation. We provide military assistance. So it is not necessary for us to be informed or aware of any strikes on Russian territory. We have seen those report about it. But I have nothing to add,” he continued.
He recommended that those seeking details of the subject contact the Ukrainian military department for further comments on this issue.
“We will give them what they need to protect their territory, protect their people on the battlefield. Of course, we don’t want escalation. We don’t want escalation. We don’t want war with Russia. But we will give an opportunity for to Ukraine to defend itself”, emphasized Singh.
Earlier, Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov contacted the head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin, immediately after another Russian missile attack on the territory of Ukraine, which they carried out on Monday, December 5.
The United States is concerned about the lack of a stockpile of weapons for Ukraine.
