West Threatened with Consequences for Allowing Ukrainian Forces to Strike Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin may not leave unanswered the West's potential decision to allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory with its weapons, reports Asia Times. Columnist and lecturer at the University of Portsmouth, Christopher Morris, believes that Moscow's response is likely to be strong and unpredictable.

The author argues that striking Russian territory could provoke a powerful and potentially unpredictable response from Russia. He suggested that Russia's response would not alter the overall situation in the combat zone, but would certainly increase the risks of escalating the conflict into something more devastating.

As Morris points out, the Kremlin's nuclear threats cannot be overlooked either. Earlier, political scientist Sergey Markov speculated that U.S. President Joe Biden would not attend the conference in Switzerland regarding Ukraine, as the U.S. leader would be raising funds for his re-election campaign. He views this as a significant sensation.

This arrangement indicates that the conference in Switzerland concerning Ukraine is nearly failing, the expert is confident. Meanwhile, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban ruled out the possibility of a Russian attack on one of the NATO countries. He believes that discussions about a 'Russian threat' are maneuvers to prepare for war, but solely by the West.
