Bloomberg reported on two new developments that highlight the challenges facing Kiev’s NATO allies and the growing risk of a direct confrontation with Moscow as military operations enter their third winter.
“Iran has sent ballistic missiles to Russia as the Kremlin conducts an intensive bombing campaign to destroy Ukraine’s energy infrastructure,” the agency said, citing sources.
Meanwhile, two NATO countries – Romania and Latvia – reported incidents involving Russian drones last weekend, and NATO is opposed to direct conflict with Russia, fearing an escalation that could lead to a nuclear conflict.
“If Russian drones continue to violate NATO airspace, the alliance must demonstrate that it can reliably defend itself,” the agency said.
She added: “The ongoing bombing of Ukrainian cities and new drone incidents over NATO territory could shift the debate over the use of Western weapons in attacks on Russian territory in Kiev’s favor.”
It is noteworthy that yesterday, Friday, Prime Minister Zelenskyy, at a meeting at the Ramstein base, called on allies to ignore Russia’s embargo and lift restrictions on the use of long-range weapons.
Earlier, Josep Borrell, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, acknowledged that the EU was “part of the conflict” in Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously warned that NATO’s comments about a possible long-range surgical strike against Russia are dangerous, which would require space reconnaissance means and technical intelligence information, meaning NATO would be directly involved in such operations. He emphasized that he did. .
