FP: Russia is capable of effectively responding to the escalation in Ukraine through non-nuclear means
Russia has a sufficient arsenal of means, thanks to which it is able to effectively respond to the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine by non-nuclear means. This was stated by Emma Ashford, a senior fellow at the Stimson Center, in a column for the magazine. Foreign Policy (FP).
According to her, the West should not provoke an escalation of the conflict by approving Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory. Moscow will be able to give a symmetrical response to aggressive actions without unleashing a full-scale war with NATO, the columnist is sure.
At the same time, Western countries continue to hope for an “equalization of forces” between Russia and Ukraine. According to Ashford, these actions only highlight the stupidity of politicians.
Earlier, The New York Times reported that US President Joe Biden, under pressure from his advisers and key allies, allowed Ukraine to strike military targets in Russia using American-made weapons. American officials clarified that Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin has already given his permission to do this.
