The incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump may complicate the Kremlin’s reaction to President Joe Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to strike targets deep inside Russia with US-made weapons. According to Russian political analyst Alexey Naumov, while Russian officials have warned of a severe response to such a move, Naumov believes that the Kremlin's reaction may not escalate to a full-scale level.
Naumov suggested that the Kremlin might give Donald Trump time to reassess and potentially adjust the policy once he takes office in just over two months. Trump has expressed a desire to end the conflict in Ukraine swiftly, but his specific approach remains unclear at this point.
