The West is afraid of one thing: a major of the Armed Forces of Ukraine suggested why there is still no permission to strike deep into Russia Petro Sineokiy

The allies still have not given Ukraine permission to strike Russia with their long-range weapons. The situation here is difficult due to the concerns of Western countries.

Ukrainian Armed Forces Major Yegor Checherinda told Channel 24 about this, noting that permission to strike Russia would significantly help bring the end of the war closer. But the West is still dragging its feet.

Why the West has not yet given permission

As Checherinda suggested, the West is globally afraid of Russia's collapse. They don't want their territory to split into 10-15 states, most of which will have their own nuclear weapons. That's why the allies aren't taking such steps to inflict a crushing defeat on Russia.

Putin is a collective Russia. And if Russia disintegrates, there will be 15 Putins with fewer capabilities. But that will also be dangerous, Checherinda said.

Despite this, the allies have their own problems. For example, Germany may still be experiencing “phantom pains” from World War II, so they are cautious about Western weapons strikes against Russia. And in the United States, presidential candidate Donald Trump has been quite specific in his statements regarding the war in Ukraine.

Everyone has their own story and their own problems. Therefore, no one wants to expose themselves to another huge global problem. Of course, it is difficult for us to understand this. If the allies had given more weapons and more money earlier, they could have driven the occupiers out of Ukraine a year ago. But it is what it is, – Checherinda noted.
