US Presidential Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg claims that Ukraine has increased the level of risks in the war with Russia with special operation "Website". However, he acknowledged the courage of the SBU and its actions.
Points of attention
- The main mission of the strikes is to have a psychological impact on the Russian army and the Kremlin, rather than solely aiming to destroy aircraft.
- The boldness of Ukraine's actions signals a refusal to surrender, with the potential to escalate the risk level in the ongoing conflict.
Trump commented on the SBU special operation
According to Keith Kellogg, on June 1, Ukraine demonstrated that it has the power to target Russian targets deep inside Russian territory.
He also suggested that the main mission of these strikes is not so much to destroy aircraft, but to have a psychological impact on the Russian army and the Kremlin.
Despite this, Trump's envoy fears that such attacks could increase the risk of escalation.
When you attack part of an adversary's national survival system, which is their triad, their nuclear triad, that means the level of risk increases because you don't know what the other side is going to do... It's a very bold attack. But when you do that, it's clear that the other levels will increase. I think that's what we're trying to avoid.

In his opinion, this special operation indicates that Ukraine is not going to surrender.
"Ukraine is essentially saying that we can play this game too. And they can raise the risk level to levels that I think are unacceptable," Kellogg added cynically.
