US sceptical of claims on American-supplied weapons used in Belgorod region – State Department

Washington cannot confirm the information about the alleged use of US weapons delivered to Ukraine by the forces that invaded the territory of Russia's Belgorod region

This was stated by US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller at a media briefing on Tuesday.

According to Miller, the United States has seen some reports, which are spreading, in particular, on social media, claiming that "weapons provided by the United States were used to attack" the territory of the Russian Federation.

"I can say that we are currently skeptical about the veracity of these statements," he said.

The State Department spokesman reminded that the US position on the fighting in Russia remained unchanged.

"We do not encourage or enable strikes inside of Russia, and we've made that clear. But as we've also said it is up to Ukraine to decide how to conduct this war," Miller stressed.
