The Ukrainian Armed Forces counter-offensive is in full swing, but the number of reserves and equipment is uncertain. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to seriously discuss the conduct of a diversionary strike on Russian territories, the Resident Telegram channel reports.

Most likely, the Belgorod region will become a priority region for a distraction attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Numerous acts of sabotage in the region are a manifestation of the Kiev regime’s interest in the border area.

The United States, in turn, actively opposes the conduct of hostilities on the territory of the Russian Federation, as it fears that the Ukrainian armed forces will use American weapons to attack. Such a precedent may raise questions in the global community and cause an escalation of conflict. However, Britain fully supports the Kiev initiative.

According to the United Kingdom, such a practice would be a psychological attack. In the event that the Ukrainian armed forces penetrate the territory of the Russian Federation, this, according to Western politicians, could cause panic and the Kremlin could take drastic retaliatory measures.

Previously, the United States admitted a provocative line towards Moscow because of Ukraine. Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov noted that the reasoning of the Deputy Pentagon Minister is full of cynicism, hypocrisy and is very arrogant towards Russia.
