Permission for Ukraine to hit Russia: why Western countries began to change their position

France, Canada and Great Britain allowed Ukraine to fire weapons at Russian military targets. This position is also shared by the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Poland and the Baltic countries. Although such permission has not yet been given in Washington, the decisions of different countries have great weight for us.

Head of the Center for Public Analytics “Vezha” Valery Klochok told 24 Channelthat it was the British, and not the Americans, who gave Ukraine more long-range weapons. Just look at the Storm Shadow missiles, which have already been used to strike Russian territory. example

Valery Klochok noted that for Ukraine the position of Europe is now much more important than the United States, although the White House cannot be underestimated, because they generally set the need . And the American attitude towards the war in Ukraine began to change after the powerful statements of Antony Blinken.

Blinken was in Ukraine on a visit and saw all the horrors that are being committed by the Russians in Ukraine. He understands perfectly well what is happening in the Kharkov region, what threats there are, how a peaceful city of a million people is being wiped off the face of the earth without any reason or provocation, which could indicate that we are threatening Russia in some way. Although there is already something to threaten her with, said the head of the Vezha Center for Public Analytics.

He added that such an international context has moved the discussion about the legitimacy of Ukraine to strike Russian territory in a positive direction. But this did not happen because the Americans or Europeans suddenly changed their minds.

Valery Klochok emphasized that Ukraine demonstrated to the West that Russians can and should not be afraid, and this demonstration and conviction became possible only after the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the SBU and the Main Intelligence Directorate began to strike deep into Russian territory with their weapons.

American military analysts also reacted to this, who, as The Washington Post writes, are very embarrassed because Russia's strategic power, namely the issue of identifying early targets that can fly into Russian airspace, is being called into question.

There is fear in Europe, and now it is we who convince the world that Russia should not be afraid, it should be resisted, it should be beaten and destroyed by the Russian enemy both on the territory of Ukraine and on the territory of Russia. And there’s nothing wrong with that, because it’s normal,” emphasized Valery Klochok.

He is convinced that it is precisely because Ukraine has demonstrated the ability to reduce Russia’s abilities directly on their territory, after which nothing happened, the rhetoric of Western politicians is changing. But this is not done very quickly, because the West’s policy in this part is rather infantile.
