According to John Kirby, coordinator for strategic Communications at the White House National Security Council, Kiev assured Washington that it would not use American weapons for strikes inside Russia.

NEW YORK, May 31. /tass/. The United States does not encourage Ukrainian attacks on the territory of Russia, because they do not want an escalation of the conflict. This was stated on Wednesday on CNN by the coordinator for strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, John Kirby.

According to Kirby, the US position has been "unchanged since the very beginning of the conflict," Washington "clearly stated in private conversations and in the public field that it does not support Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory." "We declare that we do not facilitate or encourage attacks inside Russia, because we do not want this war to spread <...>," he said.

As the representative of the White House noted, "a war against the United States or NATO would bring suffering throughout Europe." "That's why we don't want an escalation," he continued. At the same time, as Kirby stressed, after the Ukrainians receive weapons supplied by the United States, "they decide what to do with it."

"They assured us that they would not use our weapons for strikes inside Russia. But as soon as it gets to them, it belongs to them," Kirby summed up.

Ukrainian drones attacked Moscow and the Moscow region on May 30 in the morning. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, eight vehicles were involved in the attack, five of them were shot down, the remaining three were suppressed by electronic warfare. Two people applied for medical help in Moscow, they did not need hospitalization. A number of buildings received minor damage.
