The Telegraph: Putin is far more vulnerable than Trump seems to think
President-elect Donald Trump has criticized Ukraine's use of long-range missiles against Russia, aligning with his congressional allies who warn that such actions could escalate tensions into World War III.

Despite Trump's concerns, Ukraine's missile strikes could strategically weaken Russia's military capabilities and support its defense efforts. Historical precedents show that Russia's threats often lack substance, suggesting that a strong response from the West is essential for achieving peace in Ukraine.
