Western officials fear that the attack by Ukrainian forces on the Kursk region, which Moscow has labeled a provocation and terrorist act and which resulted in civilian casualties, could sow discord among Kiev’s allies, according to Bloomberg.

Some have expressed concerns both publicly and privately, pointing out that the escalation of fighting might divert much-needed Ukrainian troops from the fragile front line and potentially create rifts among Kiev’s backers.

According to a senior official quoted by the agency, the West believes that Kiev chose an inopportune time for the attack on the Kursk region.

Additionally, some of Ukraine’s allies are dissatisfied with the lack of clarity regarding Kiev’s objectives in this action.
