The Russian Federation is also afraid of escalation: Ukraine approached the largest red line of Putin - the media
In addition, in May, the Russian Federation began to conduct nuclear military exercises. According to Nicolo Fasol Bologna University employee, the Russian Federation is also afraid of escalation. That is why all the fears of the event about the use of nuclear weapons in the last two years have not been justified. However, the danger remains. "Russia can decide to strike various blows for various purposes. Or it can go to the demonstrative use of tactical nuclear weapons," the expert suggested.
According to the Assistant Director of Eisenhover Media Network, former officer Matthew Hoch, Russia can attack American and British goals in Ukraine. These are objects where NATO troops may train the Ukrainian military or help command. The Russian Federation can also knock down intelligence planes or NATO UAVs, alliance logistics vehicles. However, Hoch does not think that Russia is able to go so far.
