KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine's top diplomat said on Wednesday that the biggest problem faced by Kyiv as it battles Russia is that its allies are afraid of approving new policies to support Ukraine out of a fear of escalation.

The remark by Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba came a day after Russia's foreign minister said the West was "playing with fire" by considering allowing Kyiv to strike deep into Russia and warned of the risks of World War Three.

"Ever since the beginning of the large-scale invasion, the biggest problem Ukraine has been facing is the domination of the concept of escalation in the decision-making processes among our partners," Kuleba said.

More than 2-1/2 years since Russia's full-scale invasion, Kyiv is pushing the West to give it the long-range weapons - and the authorisation - to strike targets deep inside Russian territory. It also wants help shooting down incoming missiles.

So, what was the purpose of invading Kursk, Russia, Mr. Zeeper Zelensky? Hmmm? You are losing on your Eastern front by taking troops what few remaining and pushing into actual Russia!

So this blatant “fear of escalation” would be a FACT of YOUR escalating would it NOT? What a jiveA@@ fag dancer this clown is— as in “where’s my check?” jive.

How is that an escalation? Russia is already invohung Ukraine - invading the back is tit for tat, that's not escalating. Ukraine being allowed to hit Russian positions in Russia isn't an escalation, Russia already uses long-range weapons to hit Ukraine. Hell, Russia hits tons of civilian infrastructure, so Ukraine hitting military targets isn't even up to par with what Russia's doing, much less escalating the special military operation.

hard to convince someone of something when their paycheck depends on believing the opposite.

it is my personal belief that among our pro-war faction here are paid nudgers.

I’ll give Ukraine the drones. Long range missiles? No. That’s escalation.

So it’s a war and this joker is teasing escalation out of the Russians— you know to get them to use tactical nukes. You would find that appropriate as well? Lunacy.

But then NeoCon points of view do not take into account the WORLD having to suffer for their profiteering— which is ALL it is, and always has been. Nothing, NOTHING (C)or (c)onservative about the freaking NeoCons, not even how they line their pockets with US taxpayer money and keep the incessant wars going as a business plan for their investments. This is the real Conservative view of the NeoCon agenda and personalities— to a person a bunch of toadies to the mil-industrial complex and the expenditure of our very expensively trained US military people and equipment (see: Afghanistan’ recent memorial parade of US thrown away arms and equipment).

Ukraine is on the downslope—this a@@hole has killed off most of his population impressing them into his “battalions”. The Russians are a much bigger higher populated country with far more human resources to also waste. The situation as any critical thinker would conclude is Orwellian (as in “1984”) from the perspective of Globalist actors.
