Nov 27, 2024, 10:01 PM

U.S. intelligence sources, as reported by Reuters, have assessed that the risk of nuclear escalation remains low, even after Ukraine used U.S.-supplied weapons to target locations inside Russia. Despite warnings and nuclear threats from Russian President Vladimir Putin, officials maintain that a nuclear attack is unlikely. This assessment follows the U.S. decision to permit Ukraine to deploy American missiles deeper into Russian territory, a move that has not altered the overall risk evaluation.
