Russia could launch “deadly” strikes if the US allows Ukraine to shoot deep into its territory with Western weapons.
If the United States of America and its partners allow Ukraine to launch long-range strikes against the aggressor country, then Moscow may use “powerful retaliatory measures.” Intelligence believes Russia could respond with greater force against the US and its allies, possibly with deadly attacks. This was reported by The New York Times with reference to an American intelligence report.
The United States described Russia’s possible actions in allowing long-range strikes against Ukraine by American and European-made missiles on its territory. In response, the Kremlin could increase the number of arson and sabotage attacks on targets in Europe and carry out potentially deadly attacks on US and European military bases.
Intelligence also suggests that after the first strikes deep into Russia, the occupiers will most likely move ammunition depots, command posts and other important facilities beyond the range of missiles.
It is noted that the CIA is downplaying the impact that Western long-range missiles will have throughout the war. It is noted that the Ukrainian Defense Forces have a limited number of weapons, so it is unclear how much longer the Western allies will be able to support them with weapons.
Let us recall that The Guardian reported that the United States and Great Britain have granted Ukraine permission to strike targets behind Russian lines with long-range Storm Shadow missiles, but are not yet ready to officially announce this.
