The new argument in the U.S. that "Ukraine should also be allowed to retaliate attacks on Russian territory".
Even today, in providing arms support to Ukraine, Western countries are cautious about providing medium- and long-range missiles and fighter jets capable of striking Russian territory in order to avoid a third world war and the use of nuclear weapons by Russia. Taking advantage of this, Russia has been indiscriminately launching long-range missile attacks across Ukraine since last October, when it was defeated in southern eastern Ukraine.
Ira Strauss, director of the Atlantic Council Institute for War and Peace and senior advisor to leading research institutions, published an article on January 15 titled "Equality for Ukraine," in which he advocates that the United States and European countries allow the Ukrainian military to also attack Russian housing and infrastructure facilities.
As long as Ukraine articulates the principle of "proportional retaliation," in which an attack on Russian territory would cause the same level of destruction on the Russian side as the damage to Ukraine, Russia will not choose the path of bold escalation, such as a direct attack on NATO, but will lean toward a response that curbs aggression against Ukraine, he said.
This proportional retaliation would force the Russian people to recognize fear and truth, and could trigger Putin's downfall and civil war. It could also be expected to hasten the end of the war. We hope that U.S. and European leaders will consider this paper and decide that the framework of support for Ukraine should be significantly changed to give Ukraine the ability to attack Russian territory.
