The fading of the red line of not using Western weapons against Russia

According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency, newspaper ” Tagus Shaw wrote in an article: “Ukraine’s allies have long warned against the use of weapons systems provided by the West against targets in Russia.” But given the dire conditions on the front, there are growing voices that smack of revisionism.

It was Easter weekend in Ukraine – but no sign of There was no holiday break in this country. The Russian army once again attacked Ukraine with drones, glide bombs and missiles.

In the east of this country, the Russian army continues to advance with hard frontal attacks. gives, while the Ukrainian soldiers have to wait for the delivery of the announced weapons from the Western allies. The situation is so tense that a question is being raised again louder: Can Ukraine also use Western weapons to target targets in Russia? Some NATO members are increasingly pragmatic here.

Recently, David Cameron has taken such positions. British Foreign Secretary visited Kiev on Thursday. His government has just promised Ukraine three billion pounds a year in aid and will do so as long as needed.

Cameron In a speech, he said: Russia attacked Ukraine and Ukraine has every right to respond. He considered the use of British weapons to attack the territory of Russia in this situation to be the right of Ukraine and an appropriate action.

Thus, Cameron wants to let the Ukrainians decide. How to use the British weapons.

A little before, Baiba Braze, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Latvia, had also given the Ukrainians a carte blanche in this regard. In an interview with the Ukrainian online newspaper Europen Pravda, he said: “Ukraine does not only need air defense or ammunition. Ukraine must be able to carry out long-range and precise attacks even on Russian soil from where Russia attacks Ukraine. This case It is covered by international law. Ukraine needs long-range weapons. The public has objected. On the other hand, the Russian government has repeatedly announced that attacks with Western weapons can escalate the situation. The Kremlin has accused David Cameron of endangering the security of Europe /p>

Of course, Ukraine’s attacks in Russia have long been close to reality. The country bombards airports, military camps and oil refineries with combat drones Refineries in particular have come under repeated attacks in Ukraine recently, and military experts believe that Russia may face a shortage of gasoline this summer. Fuel prices may also rise around the world.

This is probably one of the reasons why the US government recently pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Do not attack Russian refineries. Perhaps simply because high gas prices are poison for a president during his campaign. But Zelensky does not see any alternative to weaken Russia.

Zelensky, of course, has received support from the NATO Secretary General in this regard. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in early April that Zelensky now even has the support of the NATO Secretary General: oil refineries on Russian soil are “legitimate targets” for Ukrainian drone attacks.

This article continues: Western politicians and military officials have been secretly legitimizing attacks on Russian soil for a long time. Now more people are doing it publicly. And some others do not see the attack on Russian territory using western weapons as a problem anymore. Russia’s attacks have said: sooner or later, it must happen that the Western countries give up their request not to use their weapons on Russian soil, as well as for the long-range ATACMS missiles that the United States delivered to Ukraine in the spring, with a range of up to 300 kilometers. They have.

Ukraine has already used these weapons to attack several Russian targets, but apparently only in Russian-controlled areas. By doing this, Ukraine must adhere to US requirements. The United States had limited the delivery of the missiles to the condition that they be used only on the territory of Ukraine. There is also said to be a quiet agreement with British “Storm Shadow” cruise missiles.
