involvement of NATO countries the United States and European countries in the war in Ukraine this will mean that NATO countries the US and European countries are at war with Russia the US has given Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia using American missiles but there will be no Public Announcement at least that's what the Guardians reporting on top of that one Western official quoted PBS news saying the first announcement of this polic will land when the first missile lands in Russia ever since Ukraine invaded K in August Moscow has not been able to catch a break the tid's about to change for the war as the UK and the US have just granted Ukraine permission to strike with Western weapons in Russia negotiations with the White House and Downing Street have been ongoing throughout the year as zalinsky has been gearing up for more attacks inside Russia to be able to stay on the offensive and continue gaining ground in Russia zalinsky needed to be able to LA 1:00 launch longrange missiles to strike in Russian territory UK foreign secretary David Cameron led the way when he commented on the Ukrainian War pledging that it was going to give Ukraine $ 3.84 billion in military aid to help them win the war against Russia after making this promise the secretary went on to make a statement greenlighting Ukraine David Cameron is quoted as saying just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine you can quite understand why Ukraine feels the need to make sure it's defending itself the UK is not the only country that's done this and the US has also granted permissions to Ukraine meaning Putin's in for some trouble in this video we're going to discuss the situation with the UK and the us while also talking about all the Ukraine allies coming together to help Ukraine fight against the strongman Putin the war in Ukraine and Russia is changing every day and we're working hard to keep you guys posted on everything that's happening sometimes it's hard to do this because of Putin's Bots that dislike our videos and push our content back do us a favor and give 2:02 this video a quick like so we can keep bringing you all the news as soon as it happens let's get right into it it has taken a long time to get here but finally the UK and the US are Seeing Things From kev's perspective with permission from these two countries Ukraine's going to be in a much stronger position in the conflict as it'll be able to take out essential structures inside Russian territory zalinsky hopes that with the restrictions lifted he'll be able to strike Russian airfields missile launchers ammunition Depots fuel storage and command and control centers now the first question is why did this take so long for both countries the fear was that assisting Ukraine too much could lead to an escalation in the war that would require everybody to get involved Moscow knew this and manipulated the West sphere by regularly talking about crossing a red line in his annual State of the Union Address Putin made this Threat by saying we don't want to burn Bridges but if somebody interprets our good intentions as 3:00 weakness our reaction will be asymmetrical rapid and harsh we decide for ourselves in each case where the red line is from the beginning the White House's aim was to give KV support without being dragged into direct conflict with Moscow the problem that Washington was facing was that there was a split in opinions about whether all restrictions should be lifted most US state departments have been calling for a lift on restrictions but intelligence agencies and the Pentagon have been advising Biden not to allow the use of long range weapons in Russia another reason the decision took time for the US was because there were certain interests in Russia that the US needed to be protected in 2024 Ukraine began to launch attacks on Russian oil refineries Ukraine considers these to be legitimate military targets because they're used to fuel Russia's military the problem was that the United States was worried about the economic impact of taking out these refineries as Ukraine's military ally the US has told them to Halt on these attacks Biden had hoped to keep the oil 4:02 prices stable but it seems this is not a problem anymore allowing Ukraine the opportunity it's been waiting for previously Ukraine had struck two of Luke oil's facilities in early 2024 in 4:14 vulgar and N NE 4:17 yoges this was strategically important 4:20 because they provided for 11% of 4:22 Russia's gasoline requirements the 4:24 attacks were a small victory for Ukraine 4:26 as the factories had contracts to supply 4:28 the Russian military AR what's pushed 4:31 Britain to give its permission is what's 4:32 been happening in recent days between 4:34 Russia and Iran speaking at a press 4:37 conference British foreign secretary 4:39 David Lamy said Russia was guilty of a significant and dangerous escalation by receiving Iranian ballistic missiles for use in its war in Ukraine the UK's Act of pledging money to Ukraine was already very frustrating for the Kremlin but the continuous changes and its stance are going to send Putin through the roof the commitment of $ 3.84 billion will be renewed every year for as long as it 5:01 takes to beat Russia what really delivered the blow was the comment made by the foreign secretary which represents a willingness to change the rules for Ukraine a spokesperson for Britain's Ministry of Defense said that Ukraine had a clear right of self-defense against Russia's illegal attacks and that does not preclude operations inside Russia this means that British tanks anti-tank missiles and any other military equipment given to Ukraine can be used inside Russia as part of Ukraine's defense this is Putin's biggest nightmare as he 5:33 believes that the West is trying to use 5:34 its weapons in Russia to escalate the 5:37 war so far Ukraine has used British 5:40 drones heavy artillery and tanks to 5:42 capture more than 390 square miles of Russian territory there are also reports that Ukrainian troops have been using British Challenger 2 tanks inside Russia but these are all rumors now with Ukraine having permission to strike Russian targets inside Russian territory we could be inching closer to the end of 6:00 the war prior to this the UK had been very strict about these restrictions since February 2022 the UK had insisted that its weapons could only be used within Ukraine's International borders and could not be deployed inside of Russia however as Russia continued on the offensive the UK began to warm up to zelinsky's requests in February 2024 a statement was released reading we want 6:25 to be clear that the UK will never 6:27 recognize Russia's illegal claims to the 6:29 region or any Ukrainian territory and 6:32 they will continue to do all we can to 6:33 stop Putin's War Machine and support 6:35 Ukraine in their fight for as long as it 6:38 takes the UK has kept its promise and 6:40 has now lifted the restrictions on the 6:42 use of British Weaponry up until this 6:45 point Putin's tricks had been working and most countries had been taking a step back in limiting the Weaponry that they supplied Ukraine with Moscow had been able to launch operations in Ukraine without the fear of a direct threat being posed Putin was aware of the fact that Ukraine was receiving 7:01 weapons from overseas but he was confident that those weapons were being used to kill Russian troops inside Ukraine only now with everything that's been unfolding Putin's confidence is shaking his original plan is no longer working and countries like the UK are stepping in this is in part due to zelinsky's negotiation skills in July during Ukrainian president solinsky's visit to Downing Street he'd worked hard 7:26 to convince the UK to work with Western 7:28 allies to remove the limits on the use 7:30 of weapons because he believed that 7:32 increasing Ukraine's long-range 7:34 capability would force Russia to seek 7:36 peace the Kremlin has not taken the UK's 7:39 actions very well which is to be 7:42 expected before that as you guys know today's geopolitical world moves very fast and it's pretty much impossible to keep up with all the news that's why I launched Global Recaps a geopolitical newsletter that covers world news in a quick and simple way every day I send out an email directly to

my bio now back to the video Moscow has taken the statements made by the British secretary as a direct and dangerous escalation of tensions that could exist between the west and Russia it also made it clear that it would respond if Ukraine launched strikes against Russian territory with British weapons Kremlin spokesperson Dimitri pesov commented on Cameron's comments saying this is a direct escalation of tension around the 8:33 Ukrainian conflict which could 8:35 potentially pose a danger to the entire 8:37 European security 8:38 architecture Russian foreign Ministry 8:41 spokeswoman Maria zacharova added this 8:43 is the first time that a western 8:45 politician has so frankly acknowledged what has long been a well-known secret for a majority of the world's countries that the West is waging a covert war against Russia with the hands of ukrainians speaking directly to Cameron's comments she responded by saying how irresponsible and callous do 9:01 you have to be not to realize what such statements lead to especially with regards to countries with nuclear weapons we always respond but how can you not think about the feelings of British subjects and EU citizens as if these statements weren't enough Russia summoned the British Ambassador Nigel Casey to make a formal complaint against Cameron's comments according to Britain's sources Casey was not summoned and the meeting was actually 9:27 pre-arranged to discuss the UK's support 9:29 of Ukraine Russia used the opportunity 9:32 to threaten Britain and warn them 9:34 against using British weapons on Russian 9:36 soil on Thursday Putin issued more 9:38 warnings against the actions of the UK 9:40 and the US he's continuously made it clear that the use of longrange missiles is going to be interpreted as a direct conflict with Russia his reasoning is that since Ukraine's armies are going to need NATO Specialists to program the missiles that would be their direct involvement in the war 10:14 while all this support from the UK is exciting the country that both Ukraine and Russia have been waiting patiently for is America and now Washington's given its permission to Ukraine as well in the beginning the US was very clear that it did not want us supplied equipment to be used for direct attacks into Russia then in May 2024 President Joe Biden gave Ukraine permission to carry out limited strikes using Us 10:38 weapons in Russian territory around KV 10:41 the policy's been slowly shifting and in 10:44 recent months Washington has moved from 10:46 a blanket ban to allowing Ukraine to use 10:48 us supplied weapons when it comes to 10:50 defensive strikes Ukraine's been 10:52 negotiating with America about the use of its longrange Army tactical missile system to Target sites inside Russia and the negotiations have been successful at 11:01 first Washington was advising Kiev to focus the use of Western weapons on defending the eastern and Northern regions of Ukraine Crimea and retaining access to the Black Sea but now Ukraine will be able to attack Russia in relation to whether Ukraine can use long-range weapons from America the US is finally allowing Ukraine to go ahead 11:20 after months of lengthy discussion when 11:23 asked by reporters last week President 11:25 Biden had initially said that his 11:27 administration was working that out now 11:29 but now a final decision has been given 11:32 the discussions have been successful and 11:34 US Secretary of State Anthony blinkin 11:36 and British foreign secretary David 11:38 lamby traveled to Kiev this week during 11:41 a press conference blinkin said one of 11:43 the purposes of the trip that will be taking together is to hear directly from the Ukrainian leadership including President Vladimir zalinski about exactly how the ukrainians see their needs in this moment to what objectives and what we can do to support those needs as permissions from these two 12:00 countries have come Putin's fears increase as reports come in that other countries are slowly warming up to the idea of giving permission too let's start with lvia and Finland who have made comments that follow the same tone as Cameron's according to sources in the defense Ministry Finland has not set any restrictions on the use of weapons it's supplied to Ukraine the chair of the Parliamentary defense committee Juka copra NCP stated according to my 12:26 information Finland has not set such 12:28 restrictions and Ukraine has the right 12:30 to use these weapons against military 12:32 targets also on Russian soil Juka cpra 12:35 even went as far as saying if necessary 12:37 Ukraine should also strike military 12:39 Targets on the Russian side it's a 12:41 completely legitimate defensive battle 12:43 that Ukraine's waging the UN Charter allows military targets to be attacked across land borders lvia has always been loud about its support of Ukraine and has even urged other Western allies to get with the program laian president Edgar rovix has encouraged Western allies to lift restrictions on the use 13:00 of weapons it provides to Ukraine rovix believes that the success that Russia's experiencing is because Ukraine's been limited by the restrictions on the use of its weapons as long as the targets are legitimate military targets and not cities or civilians the laian president believes Ukraine should have full Reign laia's urgency is a lot to do with the fear that once Ukraine's defeated it will be next if the West can band together and stop Russia now more European countries will be spared from the hands of Putin 13:29 why is it so fundamental and so 13:31 important for you what about your 13:33 knowledge of the area you're positioning 13:35 about Ukraine I think that for us it's a 13:37 matter of security because we believe 13:40 that if Ukraine loses then our security 13:43 is going to be impacted in a very negative way I think that has been repeated many times but also it's about international law it's about International order and I think that we don't want to see the repetition of the darkest moments of history and my country has experienced those lvia also 14:00 understands that Russia's been using the fear that the West has to its Advantage rovix is quoted saying there's probably fear and I think it's groundless that Russia could use tactical nuclear weapons I think this is blackmailed by Russia very well calculated but some governments are pying in this is not something that I could advise to add to the list NATO's also begun to speak up 14:24 on the matter in support of Ukraine in 14:26 an interview NATO's Secretary General 14:28 Jen Stenberg claimed that the time has 14:30 come for Ukraine's allies to consider 14:32 lifting some restrictions on the use of 14:34 weapons in Russia after watching 14:36 everything that Russia's done in the KV 14:38 region NATO is beginning to question 14:40 whether it should be sitting back and 14:42 letting Russia continue unchecked he's quoted from the interview saying the time has come to consider whether it would be right to lift some of the restrictions which have been imposed because we see now that especially in the carv region the front line and the borderline is more or less the same if if NATO gets on board with the use of 15:00 military equipment donated by its member nations Russia's really about to experience some losses on the front line more allies are coming forward and Poland's foreign minister rosla stated that his country is not ruling out sending its troops into Ukraine while the conversation around NATO troops being in Russia has been ruled out by most countries Poland thinks that it should be a possibility months earlier 15:24 when French president Emanuel macron had 15:26 said something similar many of the 15:28 Allies shut him down but Minister risla 15:31 thanked him for saying the things that 15:32 needed to be said statements like these 15:35 being made by NATO member nations have 15:37 very serious implications Putin has made 15:40 it very clear that he will take the use 15:41 of NATO troops as a sign that direct conflict must take place and he would not hesitate to use nuclear force unfortunately for Putin the West is tired of hearing these threats and they might actually just disregard them in response to the comments by macron Putin ordered his military to hold Battlefield nuclear weapons drills as a way of 16:01 showing the West what he was working with in May in the Southern military District that lies adjacent to Ukraine Russia ran some exercises for the launch of a tactical nuclear warhead as a close Ally of Russia Belarus was also involved in the drills the exercise was to keep soldiers practiced equipping potential launch vehicles with missiles the Russian foreign Ministry made it clear that this drill was meant to be a signal 16:25 to the West that it needed to stay out 16:27 of its war with Ukraine a statement by 16:29 Russian officials stated we hope these 16:31 drills will cool the Hot Heads in 16:33 Western capitals while helping the 16:34 countries that have provided the green 16:36 light to Ukraine to realize the 16:37 potential catastrophic consequences of 16:39 the Strategic risks they're generating 16:41 Putin has used all of this conversation 16:43 as an opportunity to show moscow's Power but it's not certain how much longer this will work we're going to talk about the United States's controversial position on the matter but first let's take a look at what some of Ukraine's allies are saying in Germany the government's given Ukraine permission to strike Russian territory with weapons 17:01 provided by Berlin according to German Chancellor Olaf schules as long as the targets are not civilians and buildings Ukraine's allowed to attack scholes is quoted saying I find it strange when some people argue that Ukraine should not be allowed to defend itself and take measures that are suitable for this Germany's provided Ukraine with weapon systems like its self-propelled howitzers and Mars 2 rocket launchers 17:24 but it's still hesitant to give Ukraine 17:26 its longrange weapons despite 17:28 negotiations Germany's declined to give 17:30 its long-range tourist cruise missiles 17:32 because it fears this will bring it into 17:34 direct confrontation with Russia another 17:36 country that's been by Ukraine's side 17:38 from the very start is Denmark in March 2023 the Danish government set up the Danish national Ukraine fund which aimed to provide long-term support for Ukraine so far approximately 9.06 billion has been placed in the fund to provide military support and training the money's also expected to help with civilian support for Urgent humanitarian Arian efforts and long-term 18:00 reconstruction in Ukraine in addition Denmark also donated long-range Harpoon coastal defense missile systems which Ukraine used in the Black Sea to Target Russian fleets in relation to its comments on whether or not Ukraine can use its weapons in Russia Denmark has been cryptic but the message is clear Denmark states that Ukraine's use of the weapons must be within the bounds of international law this means that if Ukraine's acting in self-defense to defend its sovereignty they're free to attack Russia finally the Czech is also 18:30 behind Ukraine using its weapons within 18:32 Russia since 2023 the Czech has been a 18:35 big supplier of weapons for Ukraine 18:38 donating 89 tanks 226 fighting and 18:41 armored infantry Vehicles 38 howitzers 33 multiple rocket launchers six air defense systems and four helicopters with such big support for Ukraine it's no surprise the Czech prime minister Peter fiala believes that stenberg's statement is absolutely logical he argues Ukraine is a country defending 19:00 itself against Russian aggression and as an attacked country it certainly has all the rights to use all possibilities for its defense while Ukraine rejoices in the UK and the US getting on board with their use of weapons in Russia there are rumors that Kev has already started using them in 2024 aerial images showed that Ukraine used an MGM 140 ATMs on a Russian base in luhansk these missiles are capable of reaching a speed of 2, 300 mph they have a range of around 186 Mi and they can carry a 500lb warhead the missile also releases small bomblets upon detonating allowing impact on a large area with explosions rather than unleashing a precise missile strike the strike hit a Russian training ground and killed 116 troops another strike destroyed a launcher and charger which were hit by six of these missiles there have also been reports of attacks in sasta pole with a missile strike taking out two Russian Landing strips and 20:00 damaging infrastructure Ukraine was comfortable attacking sasta pole and Crimea because their territories that Russia Annex from Kiev and thereafter what's rightfully theirs
