The White House has pressed Kyiv on its “objectives” after Russia n officials claimed that about “1,000” Ukrainian soldiers have launchedWhite House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the US was looking into the reports of the surprise Ukrainian counter-attack in Russia ’s Kursk region and reaching out to its allies in Kyiv “to learn more about their objectives.”
“The enemy has not advanced a single meter, on the contrary, it is retreating,” Kursk deputy governor Andrei Belostotsky told state media Thursday. Myhailo Podolyak, a top adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said Thursday that the border attacks may “scare” Russia into“When will it be possible to conduct a negotiation process in the way that we can push them or get something from them? Only when the war is not going on according to their scenarios,” Podolyak said.
The ploy may be working as Putin has called on his cabinet to coordinate assistance to the Kursk region, which lies about 320 miles from Moscow.
