The US decision to allow Ukraine to fire deeper into Russia has not raised the nuclear attack risk, but Moscow is likely to expand its hybrid warfare.
The US decision to allow Ukraine to fire American weapons deeper into Russia has not increased the risk of a nuclear attack, which is unlikely, despite Russian President Vladimir Putin’s increasingly bellicose statements, five sources familiar with US intelligence told Reuters.
NATO and Western intelligence services have warned that Russia is behind a growing number of hostile activities across the Euro-Atlantic area, ranging from repeated cyberattacks to Moscow-linked arson – all of which Russia denies. Should Russia attack one or several NATO allies, it would not do so to grab massive swathes of land, Kahl said, but rather to test red lines set by the West with the aim of defeating Western unity and NATO as a defensive alliance.
Even so, the White House moved forward with Ukraine aid, sending billions of dollars worth of military assistance.
