Moscow could “covertly sabotage” American bases if Ukraine is allowed to strike deeper inside Russia, the newspaper has claimed. US intelligence agencies have warned that Moscow may directly retaliate against Kiev’s Western backers if they permit Ukraine to use long-range missiles to strike deep inside Russia, the New York Times reported on Thursday. According to an intelligence assessment cited by the newspaper, analysts believe that even if Ukraine is allowed to use Western-supplied missiles freely, it will not significantly impact the conflict due to their limited numbers. Furthermore, after initial strikes, Russia would likely relocate vital functions out of range, making it harder for Kiev to achieve any military objectives. Moreover, such a decision would be a high-stakes gamble, as it could lead to “lethal” attacks on US military assets worldwide, the NYT reported.
