00:00In a significant development, the US President Joe Biden has admitted to direct contact with
00:24Ukraine regarding its ongoing incursion into Russia's Kursk region.
00:30This marks Biden's first public acknowledgement of the situation which has been unfolding
00:35for over a week.
00:36Speaking to reporters near Air Force One in New Orleans, Biden revealed that he has been
00:42in frequent communication with his staff about the offensive, stating that it's creating
00:46a real dilemma for the Russian President Vladimir Putin.

01:01The Ukrainian offensive, which began last week, reportedly involved several thousand
01:05troops crossing the Russian border and seizing around a dozen villages.
01:10Moscow has accused the Ukrainian forces of indiscriminately targeting civilians, with
01:15acting regional governor Alexei Smirnov reporting at least 12 Russian civilian deaths and 121
01:21wounded.
01:22Ukraine, meanwhile, claims of controlling Kursk too, however, the Russian Defense Ministry
01:28claimed this as an outrageous lie.
01:31This admission from Biden comes on the heels of supportive statements from other Western
01:35officials.
01:36The EU Foreign Policy Commissioner Josep Borrell has also expressed the bloc's full support
01:40for the Kursk offensive.
01:43Additionally, the US Senator Lindsey Graham visited Kyiv and praised the incursion as
01:49bold and beautiful, even encouraging retired Western pilots to join the Ukrainian Air
01:54Force once again.
01:57The US has maintained its support for Ukraine throughout the development, with the National
02:01Security Council initially taking a cautious stance on characterizing the situation, however,
02:07the US has announced an additional $125 million package of military aid for Ukraine shortly
02:12after the offensive began.
02:14Ukrainian soldiers speaking to Western media have admitted to significant casualties on
02:18both sides after the invasion.
02:20They even stated that their objective is to capture the territory for potential leverage
02:24in peace talk with Moscow and elevating pressure on Donbass front.
02:29In response to the incursion, Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that Russian forces
02:33were advancing at a faster pace and that military enlistment has also increased due to fighting
02:39in Kursk.
02:41This escalation marks a new phase in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
02:45As the situation continues to evolve, the international community watches closely with
02:49many questions in the long-term consequences of this bold turn and bold move by the Ukrainian
02:55forces and the explicit support from the Western allies.
