The United States does not rule out an attack on Ukraine by Russia

The consequences of an attack on Ukrainian territory will be “devastating” for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, experts say.

Russia could launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but it could limit itself to airstrikes, analysts in the United States say. On Thursday, December 30, writes about this Financial Times.

In particular, Dara Massikot, a researcher at the American non-profit organization RAND, believes that the Russian Federation can launch air strikes against Ukrainian military and infrastructure facilities.

According to Massikot, in this case, cruise and ballistic missiles may be involved, with which the Ukrainian air defense systems “will be difficult to cope with.”

In addition, Russia can use heavy artillery and flamethrowers. The expert noted that the consequences of such an attack would be “devastating” for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Also, analysts of the publication did not rule out that Russia would nevertheless decide on a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

At the same time, they noted that such a scenario is less likely, because to implement it, Russia will need more military personnel, many of whom may die as a result.

Let us remind you that the presidents of Russia and the United States held another telephone conversation. It lasted 50 minutes and dealt mainly with the situation around the borders of Ukraine. At the same time, Biden voiced two possible approaches to Russia.
