So long as Russia is targeting Ukrainian cities with armaments from INSIDE its borders, Ukraine can be expected to, and should, reply in kind with any and all armaments provided to it (and we should not be shy about giving them stuff with comparable ranges)."WASHINGTON, May 26 (Reuters) - As the United States and its allies provide Ukraine with increasingly sophisticated arms, Washington has held discussions with Kyiv about the danger of escalation if it strikes deep inside Russia, U.S. and diplomatic officials tell Reuters.
Using elite and valuable airborne troops in heavy armor roles. Putin remains master strategist.
Sometimes when I read this stuff O wonder if it means they are already there…
We may be looking @Nat AIgren final resting place.
I believe this is certainly ongoing. Saw just the other day that only a dozen or so of the M777's sent to Ukraine were actually in the fight. Ukraine is conducting more widespread training and will get more into the fight soon.Those 700,000 Ukranian troops............. are still being trained and seasoned. They may also be waiting for weapons.
Haines is definitely in the "de-escalation" camp."WASHINGTON, May 26 (Reuters) - As the United States and its allies provide Ukraine with increasingly sophisticated arms, Washington has held discussions with Kyiv about the danger of escalation if it strikes deep inside Russia, U.S. and diplomatic officials tell Reuters.
The behind-the-scenes discussions, which are highly sensitive and have not been previously reported, do not put explicit geographic restrictions on the use of weapons supplied to Ukrainian forces. But the conversations have sought to reach a shared understanding of the risk of escalation, three U.S. officials and diplomatic sources said.
U.S. officials say the Biden administration is even considering supplying Kyiv with the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), which depending on the munitions can have a range of hundreds of kilometers.
But U.S. intelligence has also warned about growing risks, particularly given a mismatch between Russian President Vladimir Putin's apparent ambitions and the performance of his military. The coming months could put the war on a "more unpredictable and potentially escalatory trajectory," Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines told a Senate hearing this month."
