Part 8/21:
The introduction of long-range missiles from the U.S. creates a complex dynamic on the battlefield. While these missile systems are capable of hitting critical military infrastructure within Russia, experts suggest that their introduction is unlikely to lead to a decisive shift in the conflict’s overall trajectory. Rather, they could serve as new instruments for Ukraine to damage Russian logistics and supply lines.
Moreover, the successful path of missile diplomacy could influence other NATO countries to reconsider their positions on providing long-range capabilities to Ukraine. As the U.S. set this precedent, the possibility of further escalation remains a pressing concern, notably how Russia might respond to losses, particularly in light of its nuclear rhetoric.
