the Kremlin and the media controlled by the media constantly talk about the “severe consequences” for attacks on their territory. However, the Ukrainian army demonstrates the ability and willingness to beat military facilities in the deep rear of the Russian Federation, writes The New York Times.
In December, Ukraine has already inflicted three blows to Russian strategic aviation bases of the Russian Federation. Thus, the Armed Forces of Ukraine showed that they are more and more ready and capable of fighting with the Russian Federation at a more long distance than ever. Ukrainian attacks show that the risk of escalating war in response to these attacks, despite all the Kremlin’s threats, is small. The publication also notes that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are fighting to the limit of their capabilities, and the hints of Moscow to use nuclear weapons sound empty.
Western partners for several months after a full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation expressed concern in attacks on Russian territory due to the threat of escalation. The Kremlin and the media controlled by the media have repeatedly threatened the answer for such operations.
“of the Russian Federation indicated many red lines about further escalation. Despite the warnings about serious consequences, there is no reaction. Why? Because the Russians simply have no possibilities for this,” said retired colonel Sergey Grabsky.

Despite all this, Ukraine conducts operations against military facilities in the Russian Federation and in the occupied Crimea, which Moscow considers its own. Ukrainian officials prefer not to publicly take responsibility for attacks against the Russian Federation, but they do not deny them. Western journalists note that such operations are not comparable to damage from Russian terror, but significantly raise the fighting spirit of Ukrainians.
