As noted by American officials, the approach to assisting Israel and Ukraine differs significantly because of the risks associated with a potential conflict involving a nuclear power.
Washington can afford to take more decisive measures against Iran, particularly by intercepting Iranian missiles aimed at Israel. This would not lead to global nuclear escalation, as could happen with direct intervention against Russia. American experts emphasize that attempting to intercept Russian missiles over Ukraine would heighten the risk of direct military conflict between the two largest nuclear powers.
Two senior White House officials highlighted that sending American troops to defend Ukrainian airspace could provoke a large-scale conflict. Unlike the situation in the Middle East, the stakes are much higher in Europe, as Russia is more actively deploying its missile forces and air defense systems. In this context, Ukrainian officials recognize that establishing effective missile defense in a large country like Ukraine, without the risk of being drawn into a major war, is extremely challenging.
Let us remind you that Russia and North Korea are preparing for a comprehensive partnership: what the ratification of the treaty will lead to.
