The incursions of Ukrainians into the Russian border region of Kursk are a consequence of Moscow's aggression against Ukraine, Mihajlo Podoljak, a senior adviser to the Kyiv administration, said today.
For three days, Kiev did not comment on the allegations that Ukrainian forces invaded Russian territory.
Even in today's address, Podoljak did not attribute the attacks to the Ukrainian army.
"Russia has always believed that restrictive legal norms do not apply to it, and therefore it can attack the territories of neighboring countries with impunity and hypocritically demand the inviolability of its own territory," he added.
The adviser stated that even war has its own rules, so "the aggressor inevitably pays the price of his actions".
Russian forces are still facing a large-scale incursion of Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk, which is an unexpected defeat for the Kremlin, whose army had been in the lead on the front until then.
The Ukrainian army launched an attack on Tuesday with 1.000 soldiers and armored vehicles, the Russian General Staff said, adding that it was doing everything to push the Ukrainian soldiers out of its territory.
