Deep dives

Impact of U.S. Support for Ukraine

The U.S. government has granted Ukrainians the authority to use their weapon systems to target Russian assets within Russian territory, particularly in the Kursk province. This strategic decision indicates a shift towards a more aggressive stance against Russian command and control nodes, as well as logistical hubs, with the aim of disrupting Russian military operations. Ukrainian forces have begun to implement this new approach, which has escalated tensions as many Russian officials label this action a 'red line' that could provoke severe consequences. However, the ongoing dialogue surrounding nuclear threats from Russia is perceived as an exaggerated response devoid of reality.
