Despite Putin’s nuclear warning, after America and Britain, France has now given permission to Ukraine to use deadly missiles. Giving information about the decision, the French Foreign Minister said that France has not established any ‘red line’ to help Ukraine.
NATO countries are adding fuel to the fire of Russia-Ukraine war. Ignoring Putin’s nuclear warning, three NATO member states have one after another approved Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles. Whereas Putin has already said that if a missile of any NATO member country falls in his country, then he will consider it an attack by the entire NATO.
NATO member countries, which have been providing military and economic assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war, are now seen in the role of instigating the war. Trump Jr., the elder son of America’s newly elected President Donald Trump, questioned the decision of the Biden administration and called it an attempt to start the Third World War. After America, first Britain and now France also approved the use of Long-‘Scalp Missile’ against Russia.
French Foreign Minister said- there is no redline for France
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said Ukraine could fire French long-range missiles at Russia under the ‘argument of self-defense’. Barrot has said that France does not intend to draw any ‘red lines’ in support of Ukraine. He also did not rule out the question of the possibility of deployment of ground forces. “We cannot rule out any option; we will continue to provide intensive assistance to Ukraine as long as necessary, because security is at stake in this war,” Barot said. He said that whenever the Russian army advances by one kilometer, the danger to Europe also increases.
Death knell for Ukraine!
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told state media that France’s move was not help but a death knell for Ukraine. Let us tell you that Russia is continuously warning western countries against this step.
Earlier, when the US approved the use of ATACMS missiles, Putin took a major retaliatory step and changed Russia’s nuclear doctrine. According to this new nuclear theory, if Russia is attacked with the support of a nuclear power country, then it can consider the use of nuclear weapons in this situation.
How dangerous are scalpel missiles?
French Scallop missiles are similar to Britain’s Storm Shadow missile, a long-range air-to-air and air-to-surface missile. Its weight is about 1300 kg. This 16.9 feet long missile carries a warhead of approximately 450 kg. Its width is 25 inches and height is 19 inches. The speed of Scalp missile is about 1200 kilometers per hour and the range is 550 kilometers.
Are NATO countries provoking Russia?
Earlier, America had given permission to Ukraine to use long-range ATACMS missile, after this decision of Pentagon, Britain has also given green signal to Ukraine to use Storm Shadow missile. After getting approval about a week ago, Ukraine fired 6 ATACMS and two Storm Shadow missiles at Russia, but Russia shot down all these missiles. After French approval, Ukraine can also use Scalp missiles against Russia.
In such a situation, what will be Russia’s stand remains to be seen, because only last week Russia had attacked Ukraine with an intercontinental missile, although according to the report of Al-Jazeera, the missile had no warhead. It is believed that this missile attack was done to give a message to Ukraine and all its allies including America.
