Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin will discuss Kiev's plans in connection with the Ukrainian Foreign Minister Rustem Umerov in the coming days. This was stated on Thursday, August 22, by Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh.

“We have a number of questions for Ukraine… This topic will be the subject of a conversation between the Minister (Lloyd Austin. — Ed.) and Minister Umerov, which will take place in the coming days,” she said during a briefing.

According to Singh, the discussion will specifically focus on whether the Ukrainian Armed Forces plan to hold onto territories after the invasion of the Kursk region and what goals Kyiv is pursuing in general.

She also stressed that at the moment the Pentagon is not ready to make an official statement in light of the Ukrainian troops' invasion of the Russian region.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said on Channel One on August 22 that the United States, if it wanted, could stop the Ukrainian Armed Forces attack in the Kursk region "with a snap of the fingers." He emphasized that the United States knew about the plans of the Kiev regime and pointed out that Kiev would not have taken such actions without approval from Washington.

Ukrainian troops have been attacking the Kursk region since August 6. The Russian Armed Forces stopped the enemy in the border areas, preventing them from advancing deep into the region. According to the Russian Defense Ministry on August 22, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have lost more than 4,700 servicemen, 68 tanks, 27 infantry fighting vehicles, 53 armored personnel carriers, 336 armored combat vehicles, 32 artillery pieces, five SAM systems, and ten MLRS launchers since the start of hostilities in the Kursk region.

#1 The Pentagon is so entrapped in the Ukraine quagmire it can't even butt-out when it should.

#2 The reason the "Invasion of Kursk" has been successful is probably BECAUSE they didn't tell Lloyd Austin ahead of time

#4 Austin wants to install a multi-national peacekeeping force in 'the Kursk region'. He got the idea from Blinken.
