Deutsche Welle TV interview on Ukrainian missiles into Russia

Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

Ukraine has called on NATO allies for more help in protecting its skies, warning that it does not have the means to defend itself from Russian air attacks. Kyiv is running low on air defenses across the country, leaving its forces and cities vulnerable to Russian drone and missile strikes. NATO's consistent argument has been that direct confrontation between NATO and Russian forces would consitute an escalation that NATO does not want. Could it be argued that President Zelenski is actually trying to edge NATO into a confrontation with Russia?
