The administration of US President Joe Biden has expressed growing concern about the repercussions of the recent Ukrainian attack on the Russian Kursk region, according to the “Wall Street Journal”.
The U.S. administration fears that this attack will cause a violent response from Russia, which may include carrying out large-scale strikes on vital infrastructure in Ukraine, which will increase the suffering of Ukrainian civilians.
The newspaper indicated that the Ukrainian move in the Kursk region may be fraught with risks, due to the military challenges facing Ukrainian forces.
Despite the attack, Ukrainian forces are facing difficulties in achieving significant progress on other fronts, due to the severe shortage of personnel and weapons.
The reports highlighted that the ultimate goal of the attack on Kursk remains unclear, as some military experts doubt the effectiveness of this move given the current military situation.
Some analysts believe the attack may be an attempt by Ukraine to attract international attention, especially in light of the approaching US presidential elections in November 2024.
The Biden administration, which is closely monitoring the situation, hopes to avoid an unnecessary escalation that could exacerbate the conflict and harm civilians, as it seeks to avoid negative repercussions that could further affect the stability of the region.
