Russia-Ukraine War: Ukraine claims drone strikes damaged Russia’s radar station | WION News
for more on this we are being joined by Glenn dies who’s a professor of international relations at the University of Southeastern Norway joining us live from Oslo Glenn pleasure to have you here always nice to speak with you have we just seen a new escalation in the war which seemed to be going all in Russia’s favor in the recent months uh yes this is a huge huge escalation and uh this is um always been the path we’re going towards because uh the Ukrainian Army as we now seen over the past few weeks has begun it’s a slow collapse and the Dilemma for NATO is obviously does it escalate or start negotiations and this is truly an amazing escalation because uh this also this strike against Russia’s armir raer station it’s you know as you mentioned this is part of Russia’s nuclear early warning system to warn Russia if NATO launches a nuclear First Strike so what we see now is Russia is already in the middle of a tactical nuclear weapons exercise and it’s not unreasonable to expect that Russia will now Place its nuclear Armed Forces on high alert furthermore uh there’s an immense pressure building now on Russia to actually begin to retaliate against NATO at some point because I think the wider context is quite important we see now that Anthony blinkin in the United States has greenlighted the use of long range American attacks missiles against Russian territory it’s pre-war territory this is in addition to that fact that the Americans are already providing the intelligence and assisting with Target selections so it’s also very likely that us advisers assists with this complex weapon systems uh as we’ve heard in certain Leakes already now we already had proxy wars in the past where each side they target each other soldiers through a proxy but this is very different this kind of direct attacks on the territory of another nuclear power is something we never seen before this is the United States actively and directly assisting in attacking Russian territory and also going now after its strategic nuclear defenses uh so I think furthermore we have to see that the NATO Secretary General Ian stoltenberg he also calls now for using NATO long range weapons to strike inside Russian territory yes uh this is as close as one can get to declaring war in my opinion so without actually stating it so this is extremely extremely dangerous Glen the real faces are gradually emerging from behind those proxies that we had seen till now now the alleged strikes in aravir is deep inside Russian territory it’s shortly these strikes have come shortly after Russia released visuals of its tactical Nuclear drills in the same Southern military district from where they are being carried out now should Russia have prepared for such strikes because there were statements which had though I would consider them hints which came first they came from David Cameron when he said it’s up to Ukraine to use those S Shadow missiles to Target Russia and then blink suggested something something similar in the recent past as well indicating that Ukraine can Target inside Russia with Western missiles that they have do you feel Russia should have anticipated something and do you think they were prepared for for a strike so far deep inside Russian territory how do you feel they’re going to respond well uh obviously they were prepared to some extent given these uh threats by the British and Americans to attack Russian territory but uh and there’s also a clear indication that a lot of these missiles which have been sent have been intercepted so this American and British missiles the Russians use electronic warfare to disrupt their signals they also have interceptive missiles to strike some buts some things gets through every now and then and it’s worth noting that already in the past there’s been attacks on Russian military bases deep inside Russian territory key strategic bases such as Engel military base where they’re hosting nuclear weapons which are likely the ones to be used in a retaliatory strike if the US and the British use nuclear weapons against Russia so it’s uh it’s very hard again to overstate how how significant uh this escalation is on on the side of NATO that again this is very much unprecedented and this is why one can also argue that the world has never really been any closer than this to nuclear war before at least during the Cuban Missile Crisis there were an interest in both sides to deescalate this time there’s not even diplomacy and uh uh yeah frankly the many sides now who are openly calling for a direct War this is uh yeah extremely alarming proxies have subsided calls for war have become more vocal than ever before and the real faces are kind of coming in front there is no sign of diplomacy there is clearly as you mentioned it’s an amazing escalation thank you so much for joining in that was Glen de joining us from moso always a pleasure having you on the show sir [Music] oh

For the first time since Japan was bombed,the world is about to witness a nuclear war between Russia and nato with members strategically surrounding and cornering Russia who holds the most amount of nukes.drone strikes on Russias early warning systems are blinding the country to set the world for nuclear war.what will happen when nukes are about to be launched?will something happen around the world to shut down all the worlds launches??
They said that 2 years ago in September 2022
Ukrainians and Americans did not provide images from space about the drone hitting the radar station.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
Let see how 🤔 it works
Should you sit and "recieve"/intersept bullits from a shouter, Not directly stopping him/her.
This is a PERSONAL question each one who debate De-Escalation have to answer….
I waiting for your PERSONAL answear….
They will more than likely nuke Ukraine and USA will not get the world to swing against Russia many will see Russia as the only power to stand against NATO and join Russia
All this problems are caused by putin if he want peace in this world he should withdraw from ukrain
Yeah but Iv just watched a video one a channel that doesn't completely lie of Russia absolutely dominating the Ukraine with a bunch of new war tech that the west didn't not expect them to have.
Literal robot tanks just rolled into the Ukraine and have been dominating.
and the Ukrainian's brought this on themselves, if they had fought like men instead of duck taping grenades to store bought drones like a bunch of Terrorists, then Russia would not have had to resort to some of the tactics they are now using.
Information manipulation…
Either way, Russia simply can't lose.
If it does it will take Ukraine with it
I fully agree that the situation now is worse than in 1962, particularly because the West is ruled by postmodern liberals who are too nihilistic to care about a possible nuclear war. But if somehow a nuclear war is averted then it will be clear to the entire world that Europe is the root of all evil.
