The Pentagon has given a tacit endorsement of Ukraine’s long-range attacks on targets inside Russia after President Putin’s multiple missile strikes against Kyiv’s critical infrastructure.
Since daily assaults on civilians began in October, the Pentagon has revised its threat assessment of the war in Ukraine. Crucially, this includes new judgments about whether arms shipments to Kyiv might lead to a military confrontation between Russia and Nato.

good news
May they hit the Kremlin...
These ignorant admin.. gonna get a war yet

If it’s Ukraine’s war, why do they need permission from the Pentagon to conduct it?
Hope you get nuked by Russia.
Word is that the Russians are behind the recent attacks on electric and gas infrastructure in the USA.
LOLOL
think it through little one LOL
