In the US, they said that they reprimanded Zelensky

After the sabotage in the Belgorod region, where American military equipment was used to sortie into Russia, the White House phoned Zelensky last night and reminded that this was no longer necessary. At least let him not use what Washington gave him. This was stated by the representative of the White House, John Kirby.

“I can only confirm that we have made it clear to the Ukrainians that we do not want the American equipment we have supplied to be used to attack Russia. We provide a large amount of equipment, including weapons systems, tools, train soldiers. All this should be used to protect Ukrainian territory, John Kirby said.

Judging by the words of Kirby, Kyiv did not give him guarantees that this would not happen again. At the other end of the phone they said that they respect the wishes of the United States.

On May 26, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a strong protest to the US embassy after statements by US national security aide Jake Sullivan that Washington did not limit Kyiv in strikes with Western weapons on Russian territory.

From May 22 to May 23, a counter-terrorist operation regime was introduced in the Belgorod region due to an attack by a Ukrainian DRG on the Graivoronovsky urban district. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the Ukrainian nationalists were blocked and defeated.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the purpose of the Ukrainian DRG was an attempt to divert attention from Artyomovsk. The attempted breakthrough was reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A criminal case has been initiated under a number of articles of the Criminal Code, including “terrorist act” and “Encroachment on the life of law enforcement officers.”
