We can also play: Kellogg commented on the consequences of the 'Web' special operation.

U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine and Russia Kurt Kellogg expressed his thoughts on the strike by Ukrainian forces on Russian airbases. According to Kellogg, such actions have increased the threat of escalation in the war between Russia and Ukraine. 'When an enemy's national survival system is under attack, as in the case of the nuclear triad, the risk increases,' he emphasized.

No decision is absolutely accurate. Predicting the Kremlin's reaction is difficult, and we hope to avoid negative consequences.

Kellogg also noted that the psychological impact of the Ukrainian operation 'Web' is much more significant than the material damage inflicted on Russia by the destruction of planes. He agrees that this action has largely damaged Russia's image and showed that 'Ukraine is ready to play this game.'

Ukraine is effectively demonstrating: 'We can also participate in these actions.'

It is worth noting that the SBU conducted a large-scale 'Web' operation during which vital Russian airbases were struck. As a result of the attacks, over 40 Russian aircraft were damaged. This step was coordinated at the highest levels - by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and SBU Chief Vasyl Malyuk.

Due to strikes from Ukrainian drones that took off from trucks, airbases in the Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ryazan, and Ivanovo regions of Russia were affected.

Summary

Kurt Kellogg's comments on the Ukrainian strike on Russian airbases indicate an increase in tension in the war between Russia and Ukraine. The Ukrainian 'Web' operation turned out to be successful from a psychological point of view and brought serious moral and image losses for Russia.
