Russia said Tuesday it had quashed an attack by Ukrainian saboteurs on the Belgorod region, following a 24-hour battle that left 70 people dead. Kyiv denied any involvement.

The US said it does not "encourage or enable attacks inside Russia." State department spokesperson Matthew Miller told a press briefing, however, that as Russia was the aggressor, the US would "leave it to our Ukrainian partners to decide how to conduct this war."

Miller also said Washington was "skeptical" about reports that US-supplied weapons had been deployed during the attack on Belgorod.
