Western forces shooting down Russian missiles over Ukraine would involve the United States in the conflict, said Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh, adding that Kyiv is quite capable of defending itself.

That would be dragging us into the war in a different way. We believe that Ukraine can successfully defend itself against Russian attacks <…>. We are going to continue to provide them with the support they need to do that , Singh noted .

Earlier, the Financial Times wrote that representatives of the US President Joe Biden’s administration want to move the conflict in Ukraine to a calmer state. As the head of the Washington office of the European Council on Foreign Relations, Jeremy Shapiro, stated, the administration of the American leader realizes that its current strategy is unsustainable, since “they are losing.” The possible re-election of former White House chief Donald Trump is also a concern there.

Meanwhile, Western media outlets were amazed by the pace of Russian forces’ advance in the SVO zone. The Washington Post calls it “unprecedented .” They calculated that in August and September, about 820 square kilometers came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. The Russian Defense Ministry has not yet commented on these statements.
