“The Russian leadership makes a fool of itself in front of its citizens”

Berlin Drone attacks on the area around the Kremlin and on residential areas of the Russian elite on Tuesday, raids on Russian border towns like Belgorod last week: if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gets out of control, he attacks Russian territory and risks an escalation that could damage the western allies of Germany to the USA expressly want to prevent?

Chancellor Olaf Scholz and other members of the government regularly emphasize that they are supplying weapons to Kiev for self-defense. White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre made it clear a few days ago: “We do not support attacks within Russia. Point.”

Berlin and Washington say their primary goal is to prevent the war from escalating in Ukraine. The conquest of Russian territory is forbidden.
