The United States warned on Tuesday that it “does not encourage” Ukraine to carry out attacks in Russia after drone attacks on two Russian air bases attributed to Kiev, The Guardian reported.

“We will not allow Ukraine to organize attacks beyond its borders,” State Department spokesman Ned Price emphasizes.

“We do not encourage Ukraine to carry out attacks beyond its borders,” the spokesman for American diplomacy continued to the press.

“Everything we do, everything the world does to support Ukraine, we do to support its independence,” Ned Price assures.

A third Russian airfield was set on fire in a drone attack on Tuesday, a day after Ukraine demonstrated an apparent new ability to penetrate hundreds of kilometers into Russian airspace by attacking two Russian air bases, Reuters reported.

It came a day after Russia confirmed it had been hit by Soviet-era drones hundreds of kilometers from Ukraine – at Engels Air Base, home to Russia’s strategic bomber fleet, and in Ryazan, a few hours’ drive from Moscow.

Kyiv did not directly take responsibility for these strikes, but nevertheless noted them.
