As tensions continue to escalate between Ukraine and Russia, Ukraine has been pressing its allies to allow long-range strikes to be carried out against Russian military targets. The question on everyone’s mind is whether or not Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine will put superpowers on a collision course.
With Ukraine being heavily outnumbered and outgunned by Russia, President Volodymyr Zelensky has been calling for more support from Western countries. Ukraine is seeking permission to conduct long-range missile strikes on Russian forces, a move that could potentially escalate the conflict even further.
The situation in Ukraine has grabbed the attention of the international community, with many countries condemning Russia’s actions and imposing sanctions in response. The United States and other NATO allies have been providing weapons and military equipment to Ukraine, but the question of whether or not to allow long-range strikes is a controversial one.
As the conflict in Ukraine continues to unfold, the world is watching closely to see how the situation will develop. The outcome of this crisis will have far-reaching implications for the region and could potentially lead to a larger conflict between superpowers. Only time will tell what the future holds for Ukraine and its allies.

Be fair and end the restrictions.
Ukraine was a bad investment of your money
How many times was Ukraine warned about the war- way too many. They didn’t believe it , were laughing and look at them now…
The west is too relaxant about Iran and Nothing Korea
why are these people so gleeful as thousands of ukrainian people lose their lives and others their lives are ruined. this is not a game you are risking the whole world. stop this insanity!
This only means ukraine is still losing the war
It won't take long to see what Russia will do.
There is no superpower in the western world. Bunch of weak western leaders with no balls hanging to fight 101 ally NATO to gang on one single country is not superpower, it’s collective weak western leaders power.
Putin " Crying Wolf" heard that sound many times..Not this time Putin..😂
Every European minion is activated for next 2 months so that they can show some wins against Russia just for elections. These people have economic interests so they don't want to democrats of America to loose..
Nothing new from Putin until there is. Then you'll be held to account for your war mongering.
U.S and its proxies have looted the rest of the world for decades, it's minions like starmer, olaf, macron and the new puppet zelansky are exited, same old story on repeat . Please guys we don't have much left now.
Look mummy look in the sky…don't worry it's just another "pie in sky"
mission creep in Vietnam and the United States was sayings the same thing lying saying they are winning the war then the Americans was in shock when they lost and had to leave in disgrace, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, libiya when will the people of the western countries learn you are heading for total collapse if you don't take back your power from your leaders
"The Taliban is on the run! Victory is just around the corner!" US/NATO Generals, 2001-2021
"He knows very well NATO is not getting involved!" Sure, NONE of this war is possible without US/NATO weapons, US/NATO intelligence, US/EU money, and so on and so forth. We're just arming, equipping, funding Ukraine and giving Ukraine instructions, how can Russia believe this is a US/NATO proxy war? That's just silly. Sheesh.
The colonizers are getting together again, maybe global warming is real afterall and the power struggle for resources has started. These big corporate media is more hawkish than their masters.
Give Ukraine the green light now.
This is not debate.This is a discussion similsr to nord korean state tv
how is this a debate when all of your guess and host cheering for ukraine 😂😂, change the name of your show from THE DEBATE to SELL OUTS
Now F16 is not priority it long range after long range its nuclear weapon
exciting times, is it finally doomsday? 😅
Ukraine wants to draw the whole world into WW3 so it can get what it want ? Nuts.
Not one opposing voice on the panel. Everyone singing from the same hymn book. This is not journalism.
it's so stupid to for you to discuss the putin's statement when you have cut off the main part. the full speech: There is an attempt to substitute concepts. Because we are not talking about authorizing or prohibiting the Kiev regime from striking Russian territory. It already does so with the help of drones and other means.
But when it comes to the use of Western-made long-range precision weapons, that's a completely different story. The fact is that, as I have already mentioned and any experts will confirm this (both in our country and in the West), the Ukrainian army is not capable of striking with modern long-range Western-made precision systems. It cannot do it. This is possible only with the use of intelligence from satellites, which Ukraine does not have – this is data only from satellites of either the European Union or the United States, in general, from NATO satellites. This is the first thing.
The second, and very important, maybe the key one, is that only NATO servicemen can make flight assignments to these missile systems. Ukrainian servicemen cannot do this. And so this is not a question of allowing the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia with these weapons or not. It's about deciding that NATO countries are directly involved in a military conflict or not.
If this decision is made, it will mean nothing but direct participation of NATO countries, the United States, European countries in the war in Ukraine. This is their direct participation. And this, of course, significantly changes the very essence, the very nature of the conflict. It will mean that NATO countries, the United States and European countries are at war with Russia. And if that is the case, then, bearing in mind the change in the very essence of this conflict, we will make appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be posed to us.
nato will lose this war.
This lady wants us to get killed for sure
Next thing Zelenskyy is going to ask for a nuclear weapon
The thumbnail image says all, The 3 stooges on steroids.
The level of the debate is risible… some of the commentators are border nut cases . What a waste of time !
Learn your Lesson yet😅😅😅
NATO number 1 in world
Debate?
I only hear one opinion
Mate i see your mouth flapping destruction but nothing on peace what ever happened to the real people on the planet 😂😂😂😂
I am a US Army Vet. and I have great respect for General Lloyd Austin. At the same time he has a fault and it is that he is use to talking to professional soldiers.
When he speaks I get more out of what he says than what the news reports. In a professional manner he told Zelenskyy publicly that his military is incompetent. Had I been on the stage in Zelenskyy's place I would have wanted to exit the stage or hide behind the podium. He talked to Zelenskyy like he was a US Army first day private that needed corrected again. Even going as far as saying, "We have had this talk before".
I want the rest of you countries to keep America out of you mouth. We are a young country, you are old. We are the world super power and the richest country. If we need advice we will ask our experts.
Do not see Biden letting Ukraine use ATACMS in Russia. It is not needed and a mistake. It will only make things worse for Ukraine because Russia will turn to its dirty bag of tricks. They are on the edge already. Biden will tell UK and France to do as they wish. Then wait 18 to 24 months and you will see politicians falling over dead in those countries. I know Russia and lived through this when the wall fell.
It's so amazing how careless and casual you take this war … you are deliberately putting entire Europe on a deadly path. Please be responsible and advocate for peace. Let us not sleep walk into dooms day
Hypocrisy of western countries and US.they sending all types of weapons to Ukraine but when iran gave some weapons to russia they are weeping
Militarily & econically Putin is becoming weaker & weaker. He couldn't even conquer the whole of Ukraine after 3 years😂😂😂.
Nonsense debate
Russia are going to change their nuclear doctrine. Russian patience to avoid great war with Nato but western thinks weakness.
Now the war may go towards sudden Skyfall.
zelensky want to start ww3 and whatever they do or give to him he lost the war internally externally
And the Ukrainian analysts ,is helping the Americans ,after all , America and all its Western allies will abandon Ukraine , calling it a failed state ,see Iraq Afghanistan, Libya , Somalia..,e.t.c
I pray it doesn’t escalate from long range misile to nuclear weapons. They keep pushing the bar. Praying for peace in our divided and troubled world.
I am shocked that Ukrainians want NATO to join their fight. I thought they were winning bigly?
Why do this Western analysts keep on telling lies ..,? They are totally convinced that they are telling the truth, AMERICA is no longer that unique master, the time America and it's Western allies will accept this the better for them ! And the entire world..there was a time when all military hardware came from , Western nation's only ,that time is long gone.. this Western analysts are trained to advocate wars , through lies .. just like there master's ,did in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya …
Everytime Pootin's bots mention WW3 everyone laughs. They need new material. That one never worked.
As a British, I think Putin's bluffing.
As a normal thinking person, I think Putin is damn serious.
Europeans are being used by the Americans to destroy their own land but,they are forgetting to know that they won't be able to obliterate Russia.
Ukraine will be ground zero for the calamities that are about to occur…the absurdity is that half of the world including here in America don’t know where Ukraine is at and that an Ukrainian jester is the reason that everything will become undone
How is this a debate when everyone is pushing the same narrative? Propaganda?
