Biden says attack on Kursk creates ‘real dilemma’ for Russia

US President Joe Biden believes that Ukraine’s attack on the borderline Russian region of Kursk presents "a real dilemma" for the Russian government, reported from TASS.

"I’ve spoken with my staff on a regular basis probably every four or five hours for the last six or eight days. And it’s creating a real dilemma for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin. And we’ve been in direct contact - constant contact with - with the Ukrainians. That’s all I’m going to say about it while it’s active," the White House press service quoted him as saying upon arrival in the state of Louisiana.

Earlier in the day, White House press pool journalists reported that Biden had described the Ukrainian attack on the Kursk Region as a "real dilemma," but did not specify that the American leader used these words while speaking about the Russian government.

Earlier, Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said at a regular briefing that the United States administration continues to try to find out from the Kyiv authorities the purpose of the Ukrainian attack on the borderline territory.
