Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is considering his options as Western nations consider more military support for Ukraine – and they’re not exactly friendly… He’s considering everything from striking British military assets near Russia to conducting a nuclear test to show he means business. What brought that response on were weekend talks between UK PM Keir Starmer and US President Joe Biden – specifically about whether Ukraine should use their long-range missiles inside Russia. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling for that capability, but it would mark “a dramatic escalation of the conflict” says arms expert Ulrich Kuehn. The leaders haven’t agreed on taking that step yet, but they did note their concern about Iran and North Korea’s recent moves to provide weapons to Russia.
