Believe us, it wasn’t our doing.
While some time has passed since the Ukrainian attacks on Russian bases deep within Putin’s country, American officials are striving to deny any role of their military in these attacks. This insistence and notable effort coincide with the curiosity and indeed persistence of journalists in uncovering the dimensions of Western military aid to Ukraine.
Many journalists and even analysts are seeking to understand the nature of Ukraine’s military program and the grounds for cooperation between the US and its allies with the Ukrainian defenders in the offensive range. Proving such a matter is not simple, and the basis of Western countries’ aid to Ukraine has been to maximally strengthen the defensive structures of that country’s army.
On Tuesday, the US Secretaries of State and Defense denied America’s role in Ukraine’s attacks deep into Russian territory, and Ned Price, the State Department spokesperson, dedicated a specific part of his press briefing to providing detailed explanations on this topic and denying America’s role.
