The blind attack on Kursk has planted the seeds of division among the supporters of Kiev!
report Mehr News Agency quoted by Sputnik, according to several Western officials, although Ukraine’s attack on the Kursk region of Russia was supported by some NATO member countries, many others expressed fear and concern. Regarding the consequences of this attack, they have criticized it.
Nikolai Patrushev, adviser to the Russian president, said earlier that the claim of the White House about the non-interference of the US in the attack and crimes committed by Kiev in the Kursk region does not correspond to reality, because without participation And with the direct support of American officials, Kiev did not accept the risk of encroaching on Russian territory.
Now Bloomberg has quoted several senior Western officials as saying that those NATO allies who are still skeptical about the attack have pointed out Escalation of tensions in the conflicts can divert Ukrainian forces from the fragile frontline, considering that Ukraine desperately needs these forces on the frontline, and in addition, it also increases the possibility of creating divisions among supporters of Kiev.
In turn, Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosto called the attack on Kursk an escalation that makes the prospect of a ceasefire “further and further away.”
According to some sources, those who are skeptical about the attack believe that Ukraine is unlikely to be able to keep the territory it has captured in Russia. They added that the lack of clarity about the targets of this attack remains a “dominant component” in this issue. According to one of the sources, if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s aim for this attack is to have a trump card for possible negotiations, “the timing of the attack will probably not be in his favor.”
John Kirby, the spokesman for the national security of the White House, claimed earlier that the US does not know the purpose of Ukraine’s attack on Kursk and is in the dark. This claim is made while Patrushev emphasized that Ukraine’s invasion of Kursk was planned and participated by the United States and NATO.
Ukrainian forces attacked the Kursk region of Russia last week and, according to Alexei Smirnov, acting governor of the region, captured a number of its residential areas.
Russian President Vladimir Putin called the attack another provocation by Ukraine and stressed that “the enemy will receive an appropriate response.”
