To Russia, taking action on Ukraine now might be ‘less costly’ than waiting, says analyst
From Russia's point of view, it may be better to ramp up aggression on Ukraine instead of doing nothing, according to a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute .
"That's why I think that the costs of inaction, from Russia's perspective, are probably greater than the cost of escalating right now," he said. "One reason why Russia might consider action now to be less costly than waiting is that if Ukraine develops longer-range missile systems, that means any kind of Russian escalation in the future could lead to Ukraine strikes on Russian cities or significant military infrastructure deeper into Russia," Lee said.
