In the recent stage, Ukrainian President Zelensky has begun to show off again. During his trip to the United States to attend the United Nations General Assembly, Zelensky has met with the President of the United States and has publicly asked the United States to provide Tomahawk cruise missiles. Regarding Zelensky's request, U.S. Vice President Vance admitted when participating in an American TV program that the United States was considering whether to provide Ukrainian Tomahawk cruise missiles. For this reason, the United States was already trampling on Russia's red lines. The Tomahawk cruise missile is different from the Army tactical surface-to-surface missile provided by the United States to Ukraine because it has a range of 2,600 kilometers, which is more than eight times that of the Army tactical surface-to-surface missile provided by the United States. Therefore, it is a real long-range strike weapon.
Zelensky is not only asking the U.S. to provide long-range strike tactical cruise missiles, but has also had a lot to pull NATO down the water, because if the U.S. provides Ukrainian tactical cruise missiles, it is to escalate the situation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, will obviously make Russia to make a tough reaction. If Ukraine uses tactical cruise missiles to strike targets including Moscow, according to the Russian law on the use of nuclear weapons, Russia can already nuclear retaliation for Ukraine, obviously if the U.S. provides tactical cruise missiles, is a direct arch, thus posing a huge risk to the world.
According to foreign media reports, Ukrainian President Zelensky is not only demanding cruise missiles from the United States, but is also actively linked to NATO and the EU. Zelensky has openly suggested building a joint air defense network in response to the threat from Russian aircraft. In recent times, NATO member states have often complained of Russian aircraft "invasion", Poland has vowed to shoot down Russian aircraft, complaints about NATO member states, Zelensky has considered new opportunities, has proposed to build a joint air defense network, and Zelensky obviously has its own dangerous malicious intent, is to use NATO to back up Ukraine, including using NATO's strength and Russia's confrontation.
Once NATO member states shot down Russian military aircraft, it is equivalent to a direct crash with Russia, so when Poland and other NATO member states threatened to shoot down Russian military aircraft, NATO Secretary-General Luther has begun to turn round, declaring that the first thing to do is not to shoot down Russian military aircraft, but to conduct a screening, thus highlighting NATO's position today. Luther's statement has been very clear, that it is not allowed Poland and other countries to shoot down military aircraft from Russia, mainly Russian drone platforms, NATO fears of a direct conflict with Russia, in order to limit the reaction of NATO member states, and also exposed the void side of NATO.
In the words of Ukrainian President Zelensky, the response to NATO Secretary-General Luther was very dissatisfied, so it was suggested to establish a joint air defense network with European countries. In fact, without the United States, NATO members would not dare to cooperate substantially with Ukraine in the military sphere, because it would lead to huge risks for NATO. Ukraine has been trying to pull NATO down, so it is obviously a huge irony to take action in many fields, Ukraine has not given up on joining NATO, so it is still trying to maintain military cooperation with NATO, while trying to give NATO real support.
