But Ukrainian officials confirmed
The West discussed this with Ukraine beforehand
Ukrainian officials confirmed:
The West was informed in advance and participated in the discussion
On August 6, local time, Ukrainian troops raided the territory of Kursk Oblast, Russia. This was the largest attack launched by Ukraine on Russian territory since the outbreak of the conflict.
Regarding the Ukrainian army's attack,Many Western countries, led by the United States, expressed support but denied prior knowledge or involvement.。
However,A Ukrainian official recently confirmed in an interview with British media that the West had indeed discussed the attack on Kursk Oblast with Ukraine beforehand.。
Podolak, the chief adviser to the Ukrainian presidential office, said in an interview with the British Independent on the 15th:Some things have to happen in unexpected ways and have to happen at a local level. But these are discussions between partners and are not made public.。
Russian media said:This is undoubtedly the best proof that the West was aware of it in advance.
RT TV: More details have emerged about the apparent coordination between the Kiev regime and its US-led NATO partners (in the attack on Russia's Kursk Oblast), while the Pentagon denies any such coordination.
Sabrina Singh, Deputy Press Secretary of the U.S. Department of Defense:We were not aware of this action.
In fact, the US government has repeated similar statements many times since the Ukrainian army raided Kursk.
reporter:Was the White House aware of Ukraine’s actions before they took place?
White House Press Secretary Karina Jean-Pierre:Not aware.
Deputy State Department Spokesperson Patel:I would just reiterate what the rest of the U.S. government has said before, which is that we had no involvement in any aspect of this operation, either in the planning or in the preparation.
According to the Russian newspaper Izvestia on the 16th, Russian presidential assistant Patrushev said, "The United States claims that it is not involved in the Ukrainian military's current operations in Kursk Oblast, which is inconsistent with reality. The United States always says one thing and does another. Without the participation and assistance of the United States, Kiev would not have ventured into Russian territory.”
NATO multinational weapons and equipment
Entering Russian territory
According to multiple Western media outlets and the Russian Ministry of Defense, the NATO weapons used by the Ukrainian army in the Kursk offensive came from countries including the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Canada.
CNN reporter:What is quite shocking about the Ukrainian offensive this time is that a large amount of weapons and equipment provided by the West are shuttling back and forth across the Russian-Ukrainian border.The one just now was provided by Canada.
Sky News host:Our station has learned that during the Ukrainian offensive in Russia,The British Challenger 2 tank was used.
Larry Johnson, a former CIA analyst, bluntly stated that weapons and equipment from many NATO countries have entered Russian territory.The mastermind behind this is the United StatesHe said: "The United States tried to hide behind the scenes, but I assure you, with the German and British tanks (appearing on the battlefield), this raid was planned and assisted by NATO, and the mastermind behind it was the United States. It is ridiculous that the United States pretended that it knew nothing.
