Western support of Ukraine is supposedly conditioned to defense of their own territory, not attacking Russian territory. This would be outside of that condition, so if they did it, it's best to keep it under.
It's more telling if they don't say, that would mean a Russian or Russian-allied operation is unlikely, because there is no political cost for shaming them even more.
- nyolfen 4y agoNS was not on russian territory, it was sabotaged in international waters just a few km outside of danish territory
- ASalazarMX 4y agoStill outside of Ukrainian territory, the condition for NATO support. And it only transports gas from Russia to Germany, with the winter approaching. Even more telling, the US statement in reaction to this was "a tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on Russian energy".
- Gibbon1 4y agoI think western weapons come with those conditions for now. But Ukraine is free to attack targets inside/outside of Russia with their own stuff.
