West Warming to Ukraine Crossing Putin’s Red Line: Ukraine
Western officials are warming up to the idea of Ukraine crossing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s red line to take back Crimea, a Ukrainian official said.
Tamila Tasheva, Ukraine’s representative for Crimea, said in an interview with the Daily Beast that Western leaders have changed their tone on the idea that Ukraine could take back Crimea, which is widely seen as a red line for Putin that could result in an escalation of the ongoing war.
“We heard from Western leaders that…if we come back to Crimea, that there would be an unavoidable escalation, that might even provoke a nuclear conflict,” Tasheva said, without specifying which leaders.
“The rhetoric has been changing since we explain more and more what Crimea is, what it means for Russia, and how things are connected around Crimea.”
