DASH: The US is not involved in any aspect of the Ukrainian operation inside

The United States was not engaged in any aspect of planning or preparation for Ukraine's surprise attack on Russia, US State Department spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters on Tuesday.

Ukraine caught Moscow off guard by sending thousands of troops into Russia's western Kursk region in an operation in which Kiev says it has taken control of 1,000 square kilometers, its biggest ground victory since 2022.

Ukraine said on Tuesday that it had no interest in holding on to the territory it had managed to control for long, but that in the meantime it could hamper Moscow's efforts to advance its troops further to the front line in the east. of Ukraine.

" Unlike Russia, Ukraine does not need other people's wealth ," Foreign Ministry spokesman Georgiy Tykhy told reporters in Kiev. "Ukraine is not interested in taking territory in the Kurs region, but we want to protect the lives of our people."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that it should be noted that "the operation in Kursk helps the front line because it prevents Russia from sending additional units to the Donetsk region and complicates military logistics"./ VOA
