"Continued attacks inside Russia, if carried out by Ukraine, threaten to raise tensions with Washington, which has urged Kyiv not to carry out strikes on Russian soil, or potentially discourage the transfer of more advanced aid by other Western partners.
"We've been gathering information about exactly what happened," said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. "We do not support attacks inside of Russia. Period."
A senior German official said the drone attacks raised concerns about the potential supply of weapons such as Taurus missiles to Ukraine. Delivery of the missile system to Kyiv is under discussion, and the official said such a move would technically enable Ukrainian forces to be able to hit Moscow, something Germany doesn't want to facilitate.
The drone attacks also could change the calculus of Russia's backers, such as China, which haven't so far delivered large amounts of lethal assistance." [1]
