Russia Accuses NATO of Aiding Ukraine's Kursk Incursion

Aug 21, 2024, 11:01 AM

Russia's Foreign Intelligence Agency has accused NATO advisers of assisting Ukraine in its military incursion into the Kursk region. According to reports from TASS, the agency claims, without providing evidence, that the incursion was prepared with the participation of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Poland. The Russian spy agency further alleges that these countries trained the Ukrainian units involved in the offensive, which reportedly broke through the border earlier this month. The involvement of NATO and Western countries raises questions about the extent of Western support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
