Russia-Ukraine War
NATO countries are adding fuel to the war between Russia and Ukraine. Ignoring Putin’s nuclear warning, three NATO member countries, one after another, have approved Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles. While Putin had already said that if missiles from NATO member countries fall on his country, he will consider it an attack by the entire NATO.
NATO member countries, which have been providing military and economic aid to Ukraine since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war, are now considered to play the role of instigators of this war. In the United States, Trump Jr., the eldest son of newly elected President Donald Trump, raised doubts about the Biden administration’s decision and called it an attempt to start World War III. After the United States, first Britain and now France also handed over Ukraine. Its long distance use of the ‘Scalp Missile’ against Russia has been approved.
There is no red line for France: Barrot
The French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jean-Noël Barrot. bbc In a conversation with Ukraine, Ukraine could fire long-range French missiles at Russia under the “self-defense argument.” Barrot has said that France has no intention of creating any “red lines” to support Ukraine. At the same time, he did not deny the question of the possibility of deploying ground forces.

Barrot has said that we cannot rule out any option, we will continue to help Ukraine intensely as long as it is necessary, because security is at stake in this war. He said that every time the Russian army advances one square kilometer, the danger to Europe also increases.
The decision is a death sentence for Ukraine and Russia
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a conversation with state media that this step by France is not help for Ukraine but a death sentence for Ukraine. Let us tell you that Russia continually warns Western countries against this step.
Previously, when the United States approved the use of ATACMS missiles, Putin took significant retaliatory measures and changed Russia’s nuclear doctrine. According to this new nuclear doctrine, if Russia is attacked with the support of a nuclear-powered country, then it can consider using nuclear weapons in this situation.
How dangerous is scalp missile?
The French Scalp missiles are similar to Britain’s Storm Shadow missiles, a long-range missile used for air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles. Its weight is about 1300 kg. The 16.9-foot-long missile carries a warhead weighing about 450 kg. Its width is 25 inches and its height is 19 inches. The speed of the Scalp missile is about 1,200 kilometers per hour and its range is 550 kilometers.
Are NATO countries provoking Russia?
Previously, the United States had given approval to Ukraine to use the long-range ATACMS missile; After this Pentagon decision, Britain also gave the green signal to Ukraine to use the Storm Shadow missile. After getting approval about a week ago, Ukraine fired 6 ATACMS missiles and two Storm Shadow missiles at Russia, but Russia shot down all of these missiles. Following approval from France, Ukraine can also use Scalp missiles against Russia.
In such a situation, we have to see what Russia’s position will be, because last week Russia attacked Ukraine with an intercontinental missile, although according to the Al-Jazeera report, this missile did not have a nuclear warhead. It is believed that this missile attack was carried out to send a message to Ukraine and all its allies, including the United States.
