Daily on Defense 🇺🇸 — Ukraine takes the war to Russia’s border regions, unnerving Moscow and Washington
Ukraine has denied direct responsibility for raids in the Belgorod region, which have purportedly been carried out by the pro-Ukrainian “Russian Volunteer Corps” and “Freedom of Russia Legion.” Overnight artillery shells from Ukraine rained down on Belgorod, wounding eight people, according to the local mayor. Also yesterday, a drone reportedly crashed into an oil refinery in Russia’s Krasnodar region, east of Crimea, and started a fire.
“We have been very clear with the Ukrainians privately, we certainly have been clear publicly, that we do not support attacks inside Russia,” said NSC spokesman John Kirby at a White House briefing. “We do not enable and we do not encourage attacks inside Russia. And we certainly don't want to see attacks inside Russia … that are being conducted using U.S.-supplied equipment.”
“Ukraine does have the legitimate right to defend itself. It has the legitimate right to do so within its own borders, of course, but it does also have the right to project force beyond its borders to undermine Russia's ability to project force into Ukraine itself,” Cleverly said in Estonia Tuesday. The preliminary decision made during the last days of the Trump administration to move the SPACECOM headquarters to Huntsville, Alabama, has essentially been on hold since Biden took office and has been further complicated by concerns about moving military personnel and their families to a state which now has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country.
The formal announcement included his nomination of Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which Biden announced in the Rose Garden last week. When the final vote came after 9 p.m., the tally was 314-117. The bill now goes to the Senate, which could vote on the measure as soon as tomorrow.
