Abstract:

Fears of escalation should not prevent NATO countries from lifting restrictions on Ukraine’s use of Western weapons for self-defence against military targets on Russian territory. Russia’s suggestions that it could use nuclear weapons against NATO countries in retaliation for such consent are not credible and such a strike risks NATO’s direct involvement in the conflict, which Russia wants to avoid. It will probably continue to intensify its nuclear threats and provocations, to which NATO members should respond by reinforcing the message that any attack on the allies will have severe consequences for Russia.
