US intelligence agencies have warned President Joe Biden that approving Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) strikes against targets on Russian territory poses “real risks” of escalating the Ukrainian conflict. The newspaper writes about this Washington Post with source reference.
“Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that the United States and its allies have significantly increased their efforts to support Ukraine this year, analysts say,” the newspaper writes.
According to the publication, similar situations arose in the previous stages of the Ukrainian conflict. According to an unnamed American official, in October 2022, American intelligence informed the American president that it assessed the possibility of the Russian military using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine at “50/50.”
The newspaper also believes that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s political base is fragmenting and that “exhausted Ukraine is beginning to lose ground under pressure” from the conflict with Russia. According to the WP, a prolonged conflict of attrition threatens to “reduce Ukraine to dust.”
Among other things, the publication notes that Russia is “signaling more and more loudly” that long-range missile strikes are a “red line.” WP explains that the Russian leader’s perception is that the West is doubling down, ostensibly to prevent Ukrainian losses and, if possible, defeat the Kremlin.
