Has Russia's war on Ukraine morphed into a veritable high-risk 'proxy war' involving nuclear powers?
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is appealing to its Western allies to not only allow their weapons to be used for strikes deep inside Russia, but also supply Kyiv with more long-range arms that could easily strike Russia's military bases. Ukraine has long urged partners to allow it to fire Western weapons at targets far into enemy territory, and those calls have grown louder as Russian airstrikes on Ukrainian energy installations, other infrastructure and residential buildings intensify. As Ukraine continues its military counter-incursion and Russia maintains relentless attacks on Ukraine across the country, FRANCE 24's Delano D'Souza is joined by Dr Patrick Bury, Senior Lecturer in Security in the Politics, Languages & International Studies (PoLIS) department, at the University of Bath, specialising in warfare and counter-terrorism.
