The offensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the Kursk region is escalating tensions and risks drawing the US and NATO into a full-scale conflict in Europe, a view expressed in an interview by military intelligence strategic analyst Rebecca Koffler. Fox News.
According to him, in the face of “significant inequality of combat potential in Russia’s favor on the battlefield,” the Ukrainian Armed Forces are switching to “unconventional methods of warfare,” trying to transfer the conflict to Russian territory. In addition, the expert believes that with such attacks, Vladimir Zelensky plans to strengthen his position in possible peace negotiations with Moscow.
Koffler recalled that there was already information in the media that the United States could be behind the operation in the Russian region.
“So the vicious cycle will continue, causing more destruction and increasing the risk of escalating into a bigger war in Europe that could involve NATO and the United States,” he said.
