Now, to give us more perspective,
we spoke to Ben Harris,
who's the founder and editor in chief of Benny Intella
News and former Moscow Bureau chief for The Daily Telegraph,
listening to his insights.
Putin's just played another card.
He said that because of the the US and the
West decision recently to authorize Ukraine to use US and
the NATO made missiles to strike targets inside Russia,
that he's going to respond.
But he's not gone the whole way.
He's not said that I'm going to hit targets who
are supplying weapons to Ukraine,
say ammunition dumps in Poland or somewhere like that.
What is threatening to do is destabilize conflicts elsewhere.
So Russia is already friends with Iran,
Iran's backing Houthis? I mean,
maybe. Russia is going to give more and some of
this more sophisticated missiles in order to destabilize things in
the Red Sea,
in the Middle East. And this is something,
of course, that the West doesn't want to see,
but it's a response to the Western decision to allow
Ukraine to use its missiles against Russian targets inside Russia.
