    US does not encourage Ukraine to escalate: White House

White House NSCSCC John Kirby said on Sunday that the US has no interest in escalating the conflict in Ukraine. 

"From the very beginning, we’ve talked about monitoring and being mindful of the risks of escalation of this [conflict] because that's not only not good for the Ukrainian people, it's not good for our interests," Kirby told ABC News, adding that the escalation of the crisis does not serve the interests of the Russian people.

"We are certainly not encouraging or enabling Ukrainian operations inside Russia," Kirby added, noting the US is continuing to provide Kiev with all the necessary support to "defend their territory" as well as to regain the regions lost by Russian annexation. 

Some argue that this is another means of making the Ukraine conflict seem less of a proxy war.

On December 5, three Russian military airfields were struck by drones in the Saratov and Ryazan regions.
