Ulrich Bounat, a geopolitical expert on Central and Eastern Europe, discusses the implications of the U.S. decision to allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles to strike Russia. While he suggests this move is politically symbolic rather than a significant military change, it prepares Ukraine for potential negotiations. Bounat notes that Russia has likely prepared for such actions, and any direct repercussions against NATO countries are unlikely. The discussion also touches on the potential actions of other countries like France and the cautious targeting of civilian infrastructure.
