“NATO countries are at war with Russia”
Ukraine has repeatedly asked its Western allies for authorization to strike Russian territory in depth with long-range missiles. But several countries, including the United States, have until now refused to give such a green light, for fear of an escalation with Moscow.
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that such a decision would mean that “NATO countries are at war with Russia.”
In his campaign to return to the White House, Donald Trump was not shy in criticizing the tens of billions of dollars released for Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022.
The president-elect, who will take office on January 20, promised to resolve this conflict “in 24 hours”, without ever explaining how.
Ukraine fears a weakening of American support, at a time when its troops are in difficulty on the front, or that an agreement involving territorial concessions to Russia will be imposed on it.
