Former CIA officer Philip Giraldi said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is looking for ways to directly involve the US and NATO in the conflict, as former CIA officer Philip Giraldi speaks about the recent drone strikes inside Russia’s borders.

On the other hand, Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said that the US has nothing to do with the Ukrainian drone attack on two air bases within the borders of Russia, but will continue to supply everything that Kyiv needs.

Speaking to reporters, Blinken said, “We have neither encouraged nor enabled the Ukrainians to attack inside Russia. What really matters is how Ukraine responds to the ongoing Russian aggression,” he said. It is determined to provide the equipment it needs to defend its territory, to defend its independence, but when the US first sent HIMARS to Ukraine, it said it received assurances from Kyiv that those weapons would not be used against Russian territory.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, two strategic bomber camps in the Ryazan and Saratov regions were attacked by drones on Monday morning. Moscow said three soldiers were killed and two bombers were lightly damaged by drones shot down by air defenses.

Meanwhile, Moscow has warned that providing heavy weapons to Ukraine has crossed Russia’s “red line” and threatens that it will involve the US and NATO directly in the conflict.
