Maximilian Hess, a fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, explained that 'From the US standpoint, in particular, Jake Sullivan, the national security advisor, has repeatedly paid significant attention to how these strikes could escalate the situation and provoke a potential backlash from Russia, which is a primary concern for US officials.'
French President Emmanuel Macron remarked, 'We have to allow [Ukrainians] to neutralize the military sites from which the missiles are fired, but not other civilian or military targets. We're not being escalatory by doing this,' highlighting the delicate balance of military engagement while maintaining a stance against escalation.
