During a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday, US senators Richard Blumenthal and Lindsey Graham praised the incursion of Ukrainian troops in the Russian Kursk region.
American politicians met with Zelensky in kyiv as part of a bipartisan delegation from the United States Congress. “Take this war to the Russian presidentVladimir Putin, and try to make him understand the situation and Paying a price for conflict is the right thing to do” Graham told Zelensky, adding that the move was “bold and brilliant.”
On Monday, Ukraine’s top military commander said that His forces now control 1,000 square kilometers from the neighboring Russian border region of Kursk. The operation of the Ukrainian troops is taking place in absolute secrecy and its objectives remain unclear.
The astonishing maneuver, which has caught the Kremlin forces off guard, counters the incessant Russia’s effort in recent months by try to break down the Ukrainian defenses at selected points along the front line in eastern Ukraine.
The largest attack on Russian soil in the last 80 years
Russia has suffered previous incursions into its territory during the almost two and a half years of war that have passed so far, but the incursion into the Kursk region meant the largest attack on Russian soil since World War IIconstituting a milestone in the hostilities between Russia and Ukraine.
Also, this was the first time that the Ukrainian Army has led an incursion instead of those carried out by pro-Ukrainian Russian fighters. US senators also spoke with Zelensky about plans to pass a law called ‘Stand by Ukraine’, to codify the US support for Ukraine.
